conduce
Help bring about
Conduce means to lead toward or contribute to a result, almost always a positive one: Early rising conduces to good health.
The word is formal and somewhat old-fashioned, appearing mainly in discussions of what promotes wellbeing, virtue, or success.
It takes the preposition "to" and implies that something helps bring about a desired outcome rather than causing it directly.
