The Corporate Sector and Children’s Rights in South America 2017

How are South American companies performing on children’s rights?

The Corporate Sector and Children’s Rights in South America 2017 is the latest in a series of regional and global benchmarks carried out in collaboration with Boston Consulting Group (BCG), which scans companies from all compass points and identifies if they report on children’s rights indicators.

Do South American companies integrate children’s rights into core operations? Do they address and report on children’s rights issues? Do these companies engage with programmes that benefit children?

The South American benchmark study scored 282 top companies headquartered in Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador and Uruguay on these, and other, indicators.

The benchmark then assigns both an aggregate regional score, as well as individual company scores. All companies included in the study also received a scorecard containing their result, and were given an opportunity to respond or give feedback.
