As we rebuild a world in the wake of COVID-19, let’s look to the real business leaders who stand out as role
models to society and their peers, are earning the trust of their stakeholders, advocate for businessworthy
leadership, and are contributing to reaching the UN Sustainable Development Goals. These very diverse
Business for Peace Honourees, ranging from young health-tech entrepreneurs to CEOs of multinationals
and Nobel Peace Prize winners are such real leaders. This call to action is for business leaders who want
to make actual change. Now is the moment to reshape the world that creates value for all,” concludes Per
Saxegaard, founder of the Business for Peace Foundation.
