Business Voices For Peace & Justice

  • Smiling woman in professional attire

    "Peace is not only a moral imperative. It is time for business leaders to show courage, speak out, and use our influence to uphold international law, protect human rights, and help create the conditions in which both people and business can truly thrive."

    Paul Polman, Business Leader, Investor

  • Professional woman in a business suit smiling indoors

    “The devastation in Gaza is not only a humanitarian tragedy, it represents a challenge to the very principles that underpin fair societies, strong economies and democracy. Human rights are not a luxury. We must all stand up, speak out, and take action.“

    Louise Kjellerup Roper, CEO, Volans

  • "The lessons I draw from my Jewish family history of fleeing the Holocaust are that human rights are the basis of a civilised society. We must stand up for peace and accountability as prerequisites for fair, safe, and healthy societies.

    Adam Garfunkel, Partner, Junxion Strategy

  • Portrait of a woman with short hair wearing a white blazer against a plain background.

    “You cannot run a healthy business in an unhealthy world. Companies must not only comply with UN principles for business and human rights. They also hold a moral obligation to act with courage when values are tested. Palestine is the ultimate acid test."

    Tania Ellis, CEO, The Social Business Company

  • "We’ve built our business on sustainability and ethical values. And I don’t believe you can call yourself a truly sustainable business leader without denouncing a genocide. War makes achieving the Sustainable Development Goals impossible."

    Russ Avery, Founder, Avery & Brown

  • Man with glasses and beard wearing a dark sweater, looking thoughtfully to the side.

    “Standing for human rights isn’t political. As business leaders, we not only have a moral obligation, but also a business interest in being vocal. It is about upholding trust in our systems. Stability and the rule of law are important for companies .“

    Dariush Rezai, CEO, Sweco

  • Man with glasses and short hair smiling against a gray background.

    “While most businesses and their leaders will shy away from anything considered controversial, I see that as an abdication of responsibility. There is no such thing as business as usual in the middle of a genocide. If you’ve got a voice or a platform, use it."

    Dale Vince, Green Industrialist & Founder, Ecotricity

  • "We cannot build a just, regenerative, or sustainable future without defending the values that underpin it: peace, accountability, and international humanitarian law. Our responsibility is to show ethical leadership."
