Why is Global Child Forum’s Benchmark valuable for companies and investors?

Global Child Forum’s Children’s Rights and Business Benchmark stands out among sustainability benchmarks because it specifically focuses on children’s rights. While many benchmarks cover broader sustainability issues, this one drills down into how companies address and impact the lives of children. Since children represent the future workforce, consumers, and citizens, understanding and addressing their rights is crucial for responsible business practices.

Moreover, the benchmark offers a unique lens to assess a company’s performance. It goes beyond generic sustainability assessments by delving into specific areas like child labour, responsible marketing, and the overall impact on children throughout the supply chain. For sustainability managers, it provides a comprehensive view, helping them tailor strategies which not only meet overall sustainability goals but also positively impact children’s lives. In essence, our benchmark is a tool that aligns with the growing emphasis on holistic corporate responsibility and ethical practices.
