Children’s Rights and Business Principles

This guidance from UNICEF, the UN Global Compact, and Save the Children provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and addressing the impact of business on the rights and well-being of children. It features ten principles that call on businesses from all sectors to respect and support children’s rights throughout their activities and business relationships, including in the workplace, the marketplace, the community, and the environment. These principles identify a comprehensive range of actions that all business should take to prevent and address any adverse impact on children’s human rights, as well as measures all business are encouraged to take to help advance children’s rights.
