I, too, am looking for examples of this. In last week's discussion, we looked at South Africa's CBM, and I encourage you to read back over that thread. But it was an example of a business association and not of a single firm. And there are cases of…
That's a great example, Alexandra! What kind of activities related to peace are the businesses undertaking?
I attended the launch of a book at the DC-based Center for Global Development yesterday and would like to share what I learned. The book is titled Africa's Private Sector: What's Wrong with the Business Environment and What to Do About It (by Vijaya…
Thank you for sharing your experience, Ida. The tension between Ugandan Africans and Ugandan Asians is a concrete example where businesses could step in to build bridges, include marginalized/stigmatized groups, facilitate discussion, etc. Do you kn…
Thanks, Steve. Civil society must indeed develop information "in business language" so that companies are able to see how they will benefit from contributing to peace and to enable them to develop contributions wisely.

Thank you for posting this excerpt, Sean.

Thank you for this article, Sean. In reading different examples of what businesses and business organizations have done, I'm always left wondering where the resources (i.e. funds) come from. On page 7, the article you posted has an example of how th…
Sean develops a good question from Rowan’s succinct working definitions of peace and business. Let’s take the question and quest for illustrative cases back to Cindy’s last post about “kinds of businesses.” Discussions often focus on multinationals…
The discussion question regarding how business can contribute to sustainable peace is an interesting one, if only because in answering it people often focus on how business can avoid contributing to conflict, which in fact answers a very different q…
The World Bank Institute and the Institute for Corporate Responsibility present an online Conference on Business and Peace.
