  • Module 1: Children’s Rights and Business Principles

These are the first global comprehensive set of principles to guide companies on the full range of actions they can take in the workplace, marketplace and community to respect and support children’s rights. They are built on existing standards, initiatives and best practices related to business and children, and seek to fill gaps to present a coherent vision for business to maximize the positive impacts and minimize negative impacts on children.

Online session: 8-9 April 2021

Covering a wide spectrum of sustainable development topics relevant to companies – such as poverty, health, education, climate change and environmental degradation – the UN Sustainable Development Goals help to connect business strategies with global priorities.
