"Every sector, and every company, can play a vital role in leveraging knowledge and information for social impact. If private-sector companies like ours that incentivize a race to the top and value a 'culture of decency' can join together with public- and social-sector organizations, not only can we respond with speed and scale, but we can rebuild our economies for the benefit of everyone."
