Workbook
September 2020
Although considerable efforts have been undertaken by many businesses to respect children’s rights, obstacles remain. Numerous companies, for example, are uncertain as to how to begin addressing the issue of children’s rights. Global Child Forum has therefore developed this workbook for businesses to use at the outset of their children’s rights journey as well as for those looking to advance work already underway.
The workbook has been written in alignment with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and the Children’s Rights and Business Principles (CRBPs). Other guidance and best practice are referenced and made available as needed to help the reader gain clarity on how to implement children’s rights in the corporate agenda.
We hope that this guide will not only inform and inspire, but also equip business leaders and sustainability professionals with tools to take action – action to ensurethat children’s rights are respected and supported by businesses across the world.
What is good for children, is good for business.

“Business has a huge impact on children’s lives. However it can be difficult to know where to start, so we pledged to create a guide for how to incorporate children’s voices into our group of businesses. We collaborated with Global Child Forum and Boston Consulting Group to develop this Workbook on how to implement a children’s rights perspective. It has provided us with a roadmap that we hope will enable many other companies to start working with children’s rights.” / Jenny Lindén Urnes, Lindéngruppen

For the most marginalised and deprived children, those impacts have the potential to be life-altering and potentially devastating.
