What should we do?

It isn't easy to cope with a situation where an incident happens. We should apologize for that immediately, but must avoid giving our customers and suppliers a bad impression. To my mind, the most common and appropriate way is that our CEO expresses sincere apologies for the incident in the form of a press release.

1. You should add a subject here as well.
Going public is the last thing we should do. It would only spread our incompetence for everyone to know. We go to the people individually.

I respect your point, but in this case, we have over 1000 customers we have to meet. Moreover, we found some posting about this incident on SNS. The negative rumor has already been spreading. I insist we have to take the way to reach the mass immediately at this stage. What do you think?

1, 3. Use the plural when speaking in a general sense.
2. This would be a much clearer and more natural way to say this.
I know it looks bad but what you're suggesting might be worse. Don't you think maybe we can arrange to meet all of them?

It doesn't seem realistic.
We should realize 'A pinch is a chance' in this case.

自然な表現

It doesn't seem realistic.
We should realize "A pinch is a chance" in this case.

1, 2. You should use quotation marks here, not apostrophes. Apostrophes are only used to indicate possessive form and omission.
