Companies with activities that extend into conflict-affected and high-risk areas face extraordinary challenges...The Global Compact’s Business for Peace Platform (B4P) was launched last year to assist companies in implementing responsible business practices in conflict-affected and high-risk areas and to catalyse collaborative practical action that advances peace by leveraging business influence on the workplace, marketplace and local communities. The object of this event is to explore how UK-based companies (and investors) with interests in challenging regions can first ensure they do no harm and then pro-actively support peace.
