Global Child Forum
Business Academy

The Business Academy is an exclusive training programme designed to equip your company with the knowledge and tools needed to integrate a child rights perspective into your operations.

The programme focuses on peer-to-peer networking and collaboration in a small group, with the aim of solving real problems together. This takes place under the guidance of our experts, with inspiration from companies who have progressed on their journey and can share their experience.

The Business Academy covers business-critical issues, linking these to children’s rights perspectives and highlighting the potential for both negative and positive impact on children’s lives. The issues are also clearly linked to other sustainability perspectives, such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

The programme of workshops is carried out throughout the year.

Our Business Academy is open to SDG2000 companies within the Tech & Telecom and Food, Beverages and Personal care sectors. The service is available to companies with a desire to improve their work around sustainability, while looking to integrate children’s rights in a more robust way.

The Business Academy aims to provide your company with guidance and valuable tools to better understand and incorporate a child rights perspective, improving your benchmark score and enabling you to become a “Leader” in the ranking.

The programme is directed towards (but not limited to) sustainability or human rights executives and managers. The professionals attending are typically tasked with engaging on these topics with other functions or business areas within a company.
