“We will continue to be guided by our disciplined approach to capital allocation and focus on the bottom line and, of course, the rapidly evolving situation with respect to COVID‐19,” he added.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused widespread disruption around the world. As a result, Green Thumb initiated an executive Response Team to address the challenges.
