Children are increasingly becoming more valued, cherished and respected stakeholders in business communities. In their multiple roles such as for example consumers, family members, future leaders and co-workers, children are receiving the attention of high-profile sustainability professionals and executives that invest their time, money and considerable effort to carve out the best possible strategies to do business with children’s interests in mind. In this Action Lab we will hear from some of the champions in integrating children’s rights concerns from both supply chain perspectives, product development angles as well as those working with materiality, child participation and stakeholder participation. Why is it valuable, smart and interesting for companies to engage with children’s rights?

Of all the heartbreaking effects of COVID-19, its impact on young people could prove to be one of its most damaging legacies. In fact, the coronavirus crisis risks turning back the clock on years of progress made on children’s well-being and has put children’s rights under serious pressure across the globe. Linda Lodding, Head of Communications at Global Child Forum, takes a closer look at these pressure points.
While digital solutions provide significant opportunities for sustaining and promoting children’s rights, these same tools may also increase children’s exposure to online risks. This technical note from UNICEF and partners sets out some of the key priorities and recommendations on how to mitigate those risks and promote positive online experiences for children.
