resonancia

English translation: reach

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. / Corporate Social Responsibility
Spanish term or phrase: resonancia
La original Política de Responsabilidad Social de EMPRESA se manifiesta en cinco pilares o cinco Rs:

*REENERGIZACIÓN de las fuerzas productivas de las sociedades más desfavorecidas
*RESPETO hacia todas las personas independientemente de su situación vital
*RESONANCIA del trabajo social que hacemos para que llegue al mayor número de gente posible
*REACCIÓN rápida a las nuevas situaciones de crisis que puedan desarrollarse
*RENOVACIÓN de los paradigmas de ayuda a quien lo necesitan

'reverberation' unfortunately lacks the necessary positive connotations, 'resonance' is a false friend,while 'impact' doesn't start with an R. Can anyone come up with something better? Thank you!

English translation:reach
Explanation:
It is a shame "impact" doesn't start with 'r' isn't it! However, in its absence I think you could get away with using "Reach":

REACH of the social work that we do so that it impacts on as many people as possible

resonance


Explanation:
¿Por qué no?

Desde Miriam Webster:

a : the intensification and enriching of a musical tone by supplementary vibration
b : a quality imparted to voiced sounds by vibration in anatomical resonating chambers or cavities (as the mouth or the nasal cavity)
c : a quality of richness or variety
d : a quality of evoking response <how much resonance the scandal seems to be having — United States News & World Report>

Prefiero d base del contexto.
