1 INTRODUCTION

To say 2020 has been unprecedented and extremely chaotic is an understatement. Globally with the pandemic, we have experienced revolutionary impacts on the economy, higher education, and the importance of mental health awareness for both students and faculty. For the journal, we have experienced the additional disruption from the unexpected and sudden suppression of our impact factor (see Jamali et al., 2020). Also, we are well aware that this year has brought considerable hardships, sorrows, and tragedies for many editorial team members and, no doubt, in many of your lives as well. As we bid farewell to 2020, we take some moments to reflect on the past year's strategic opportunities despite these massive challenges. The most notable is the evolution of BEER from a classical business ethics journal, to a journal that is broader in scope, and in coverage, and wider in reach and impact, which has prompted us to move forward with the change of name of the journal from Business Ethics: A European Review, to Business Ethics, Environment and Responsibility (BEER). We elaborate more on the reasons behind the change and their implications in this Editorial. In tandem, we also reflect on the amazing team effort that has materialized over this recent period, including the engagement of our Associate Editors, and our Editorial Board, pulling together as a real community of scholars, united around a common vision and purpose, namely to restore BEER to its standing as one of the most respected journals in the field. First, we provide a short review of our strategic undertakings.

混沌为机遇

1引言

要说2020年是史无前例的，而且极其混乱，这是一种轻描淡写的说法。在大流行的全球范围内，我们经历了对经济，高等教育的革命性影响，以及对学生和教师的心理健康意识的重要性。对于该期刊，我们受到了影响因子意外和突然抑制的额外干扰（请参阅Jamali等人，  2020年）。另外，我们也很清楚，今年给许多编辑团队成员带来了巨大的艰辛，悲伤和悲剧，毫无疑问，这也给您的生活带来了许多麻烦。在我们告别2020年的同时，尽管有这些艰巨的挑战，我们仍需要一些时间来反思过去一年的战略机遇。最值得一提的是，BEER从经典的商业道德期刊演变为范围更广，覆盖面更广，影响面更广的期刊，这促使我们随着期刊名称的改变而向前迈进。从《商业道德：欧洲评论》到商业道德，环境与责任（BEER）。在本社论中，我们将详细说明更改背后的原因及其含义。同时，我们还反思了最近这段时间里实现的惊人团队合作，包括我们的副编辑和编辑委员会的参与，以一个真正的学者社区聚集在一起，围绕着共同的愿景和宗旨，即恢复BEER作为该领域最受尊敬的期刊之一的地位。首先，我们简要回顾一下我们的战略任务。
