Taking Care of Our Communities

Shortly after the World Health Organization (WHO) characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic, we immediately introduced a set of measures to support global and national efforts to help tackle the spread of COVID-19.

Our response then goes much further. Managing through and recovering from this global crisis take everyone’s support and we are standing up to advance relief efforts in the communities.
