How do the world’s most influential companies respond to children’s rights?
Since 2013, Global Child Forum has benchmarked companies in collaboration with Boston Consulting Group, with the goal of assessing their performance on children’s rights. Our unique data can be used by corporates to increase their social impact, and by investors to inform their decision-making.
Our business universe is the SDG2000 – companies identified by the World Benchmarking Alliance as the most influential in reaching the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. To date, we’ve assessed nearly 3000 companies.
Knowledge and insights from our children’s rights benchmark equip businesses to meet the ever increasing demands of financial investors, governments, civil society, and the communities in which they operate. Businesses can assess their performance in relation to peers from their sector, industry or region – and the data is highly relevant for investors and other stakeholders that assess or rank companies.
