SWIICL | 2022 Symposium on Global Business - 'Corporate Diplomacy: In the Room Where It Happens'

The ability of businesses to sustainably support peace worldwide relies upon ‘corporate diplomacy’. This panel will address how this corporate diplomacy plays out in the real world. It will focus particularly on how concerns of conflict prevention and sustainability contribute to business positions and how these are then expressed in the room where it happens. The panel again brings together stakeholders from different industries, practices, and academia to outline what works, what doesn’t work, and what the current limits of corporate diplomacy are.
