Business for peace

Violent conflict is a major risk for companies, government agencies, businesses and institutions working in fragile and insecure contexts. Apart from physical safety of staff, this also includes risks to finances, operations and reputation. Over the last decade, more companies and international organisations have recognised the risk that conflict poses to their investments and have adopted a more ‘conflict-sensitive’ way of working.

Saferworld works with these companies and organisations to ensure that they contribute to peace rather than worsen existing tensions. Our team of experts offers a range of services, from advising staff, to analysing conflict dynamics and providing recommendations or trainings. We also help facilitate engagement with communities who are affected by investments or international projects.
