12.4 Long-term Reputation Management

Long-term reputation management is all about playing the long game. It's not just putting out fires, but building a solid foundation that can weather any storm. Think of it as creating a bulletproof vest for your brand's image.

This means constantly keeping tabs on what people are saying, building strong relationships, and creating a positive company culture. It's about walking the walk, not just talking the talk, when it comes to ethics and sustainability.
