far-reaching
Touching many areas
Far-reaching describes effects, consequences, or implications that extend widely or have broad impact: The policy had far-reaching consequences for the industry.
Something far-reaching affects many people, places, or aspects of a situation.
The word suggests scope and significance—changes that ripple outward rather than staying contained.
