As with many businesses, our best laid plans have been affected by the COVID-19 crisis.

In the immediate term, our team worldwide are following local public health guidelines, including stay-at-home orders.

In the medium and long terms, our leadership team is tasked with a deep assessment of the impacts on our markets, our partnerships, and our scope. We will, as always, adapt; how and to what extent remains to be determined. However, we are optimistic that despite the human suffering resulting from this pandemic on both a local and a global scale (which is a tragedy that cannot be understated or diminished), these events will be a turning point in our economic systems from which new paths will be marked.

We take this as an opportunity in the long run to effect change, both internally and externally.

Paraphrased from wise words we read recently, we look forward to ushering in a world that is

more scientific, more rational, more humane, and more international.
