  • Peace and tolerance is in the interests of business and society alike. And yet, conflict and violence is rampant around the world. Our Center for Trade and Tolerance explores the role of international business and trade in facilitating international cooperation and peace-keeping, examines the interconnected nature of international trade and tolerance of those who differ from ourselves and highlights opportunities for the trade community to contribute to greater tolerance and mutual understanding.
