Peace serves the interests of business. There is a positive relationship between peace and successful business. The more governments understand the attributes of peace the more they can do to improve the business environment accordingly and businesses will have more confidence when making international investment decisions. Research by Vision of Humanity show the correlations between per capita income and peacefulness. There is also a relationship between some businesses and rising levels of violence.
Peaceful nations seem to enjoy better economic performance than the more violent. A better understanding of peace equips business to make successful investments. Stable peace enables the construction of an infrastructure. Increasing peacefulness gradually decreases business costs. Local markets can improve and expand better in conditions of lasting peace.
Methods of measurement for peace could bring new forms of business, marketing and investment analysis. The Global Peace Index is a start. The P10, the 10 most peaceful nations according to the Index, might bring new international relationships of trust, co-operation and sustainability. There is also a positive relationship between education and peace. Peace is necessary for education and education is an important part of creating and sustaining peace. The Global Peace Index can also serve as a useful benchmark for NGOs overall activities. The international institutions have an obligation to promote peace.
