Corona vs. CSR: Does the Virus also stop Sustainability?

The coronavirus is omnipresent, and the measures required to contain it are having a serious impact on society in general and on the economy in particular. At present, here and now, many people and companies feel that there are more important things to do than deal with sustainability issues. But does this mean that the issue of sustainable management is permanently off the table, the spotlight off?
