How to Build Resilient Businesses: Lessons from the LEGO Group
What does it take to build a resilient business? For the LEGO Group, it starts with play — and with children. In this episode, Diana Ringe Krogh, Vice President of Social Responsibility, explains how the company brings children’s voices into decision-making and why their perspective matters for long-term success.

COMPANIES MUST PLAY FAIR
Fair Play is a podcast hosted by Global Child Forum, where we sit down with leaders and changemakers to talk about what it means to put children’s rights on the business agenda. Because when we play fair, we don’t just build better companies, we build a better future for every child.
This mini-series is part of our LEGO-supported project on children’s rights and corporate sustainability reporting, developed in collaboration with the LEGO Group.

It's been an interesting process raising issues of child labour with companies that are operating, or based in the US or that have supply chains in the US.

One of the biggest challenge, in all companies in the sector, is: How to offer access to technology, in a way that creates the guardrails for children up front?
Diana Ringe Krogh
Vice President of Social Responsibility, LEGO Group
I think the playbook is really a key resource, because it brings that long-term thinking into a space that can sometimes be dominated by short-term pressures. It helps companies not only manage risks more effectively, but also really understand the real-world impact of their decisions.
