Abstract

This is an independent report commissioned by Interpeace’s Finance for Peace Initiative, designed to deliver a conceptual and evidentiary basis of how businesses and the private sector can better contribute to peace outcomes. It presents a comprehensive evidence-based summary of how businesses have positively impacted peace, drawing on case studies and dissecting the mechanisms through which companies can impact peace in different sectors. It maps causal pathways of private sector peace impact which can serve as an empirical basis for peace finance efforts. The report shows that in many places and contexts, companies have made positive contributions to safety and security, social peace and political peace, but these positive impacts are conditional and not guaranteed. This evidence is critical to build communities of practice, help companies develop peace-enhancing mechanisms and incentivise the private sector to realise peace impacts while de-risking their investment and business approaches.
