Wharton Social Innovators Conference 2015 Highlights Social Impact in Business with Peter Slaugh of OpenPath Investments

The Wharton Social Innovators Conference (WSIC) 2015 recently took place in San Francisco, bringing together a diverse panel of leaders committed to driving social impact through business. One standout participant was Peter Slaugh of OpenPath Investments (OPI), who has been at the forefront of the Urban Village concept for over 15 years.

Slaugh’s unique approach to apartment acquisitions and real estate involves implementing social initiatives and programs within his communities, such as recycling, communal classes, resident events, and community gardens. These efforts not only benefit residents but also provide a solid return on investment for investors.

“The next generation of business leaders are clearly dedicated to social impact as they enter the workforce,” said Slaugh. “The ‘conversation’ around this shift in mindset is crucial for the future of business and the environment.”

At the WSIC, discussions centered around measuring impact both quantitatively and qualitatively. Slaugh emphasized that OPI has data to support the positive outcomes of their community-focused approach, showing that it is a win-win for all involved.

The conference theme, “From Entrepreneurship to Intrapreneurship: Evolving Models of Social Impact,” highlighted the importance of innovative solutions in business. Attendees and panelists engaged in conversations about social impact and best practices in the industry.
