Benchmark Scorecard
Feedback Service

Global Child Forum

We can walk you through your benchmark scorecard

Global Child Forum offers companies tailored feedback on their benchmark scorecard.

This service represents a great opportunity for companies to better understand their position in relation to peers and how to improve in our next benchmark. It’s also a chance to increase your knowledge on how a company’s effect on children’s rights goes beyond child labour – which includes a better understanding of blind spots and areas of improvement.

In these sessions, we cover:

  • Identifying gaps and practical ways to improve.
  • Comparison to your closest competitors (of those benchmarked by Global Child Forum).
  • Concrete examples from peer companies that have reached Leader status and achieved a high score.
  • Suggestions for useful tools, resources and next steps.

Companies who already used this service emphasise how much it has helped them to not only better understand and interpret the score they have received, but also identify areas of opportunity in their organisation’s approach towards children.

Please note that we have limited slots available and therefore prioritise companies included in our latest benchmark.
