A few weeks ago, PhillyInc (the Inquirer’s business blog) asked readers in a poll, “Do local businesses and/or executives have a responsibility to help combat rising violence in Philadelphia?” Since then, our CEO Mark Schweiker has been involved in a thought-provoking conversation on the topic. In the past couple days, the Inquirer has published Q&As with both Mark and William George of Health Partners, on businesses role in making our communities safer. Here’s what they had to say:
Q&A with Mark: “Businesses have been at the forefront of antiviolence and community-building efforts.”
Q&A with William George: “Businesses have a responsibility and should get involved.”
The latest from PhillyInc, plus all their previous posts on the subject.
The Next Mayor Blog gets in on the conversation.
