Good day. I'm seeking expert comment on issues of data privacy

I'd like someone to discuss privacy issues with this vast amount

Query:
The Sierra Club just called out its founder for racist remarks
made 100 years ago. How does any corporation that makes efforts
in environment/social/governance deal with criticism about
another time or era, when current standards are retroactively
applied? Why does this happen in some cases but not others?
(Companies that were complicit with Nazi Germany, for example.)
What do the critics expect to get? How might a company
investigate itself for potential problems and, if challenged,
respond? Given the global nature of business, is there any place
not affected? I'm interested in experts in corporate governance,
management, politics, history, social activism, crisis PR, and
anything else that reasonably touches on the issues.
