In a world where children make up one third of the population, how businesses address children’s rights in their sustainability strategies has never been more crucial.
But as the corporate sector strives to meet sustainability goals while fulfilling the ever increasing reporting requirements, children’s rights are often overlooked.
It’s clear that companies need a helping hand to integrate child rights into their reporting and assessments.
Introducing The Corporate Playbook: Embedding Children’s Rights in ESRS Reporting
The Corporate Playbook guide was developed by Global Child Forum, with support from the LEGO Group.
It provides companies with everything they need to be able to integrate children’s rights into the core of their reporting, while enhancing their understanding of – and successfully adhering to – regulations such as the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).
By following The Corporate Playbook, forward thinking companies can successfully meet their sustainability reporting obligations, while gaining the trust of consumers, investors, and communities.

If you have products that children use - or that could impact them - you should prove that you have done your homework.
