In 2012, UNICEF, the United Nations Global Compact and Save the Children released the Children’s Rights and Business Principles (the Principles), which built upon the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights as well as the Convention on the Rights of the Child and relevant International Labour Organization Conventions.
The Principles offer comprehensive guidance to companies on the range of actions they can take to respect and support children’s rights, prevent and address the risks to children from their activities, and maximize positive business impact in the workplace, marketplace and community.
