What is SFDR and how does it relate to children’s rights?

SFDR stands for Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation. It’s an EU regulation that requires financial institutions to disclose how they integrate sustainability and ESG factors into their investment decisions.

Although today the SFDR does not explicitly look at children’s rights, they do fall under the category of “respect for human rights,” which SFDR requires organisations to assess and disclose.

By utilising Global Child Forum benchmark data, companies and investors can assess and minimise children’s rights related risks.
