Striving to be a beacon for how a company ought to behave comes with a tremendous responsibility. As organizations come together to advocate and make change, meaningful collaborations are essential. I'm very grateful for our recently launched BANDtogether Roundtable and the progress these discussions will support.

Together, we can ensure that we are doing our part to make an impact and elevate societal wellbeing.

With each of us moving quickly to put last year in the rearview, I’m proud that we’re taking time as an organization to truly celebrate solidarity and giving back in a year that felt like one obstacle after another. It’s tough to think of a better day than hashtag#NationalLoveYourPetDay to launch the 2020 Banfield Pet Hospital Corporate Social Responsibility Report and the Banfield Foundation Impact Report!

Both reports tell powerful stories of what’s possible when our associates and teams leverage our size and scale for good. I continue to be deeply grateful for everything we accomplished in 2020 and how we came together to be there for each other and the pets and communities that count on us. As 2021 takes shape, we’re eager to do more to further our societal impact.

My first year as president of Banfield Pet Hospital offered powerful examples of our capacity to positively impact the lives of people and pets in every community we serve. Join me in celebrating just a few of our collective successes from 2017.
