Children’s Rights and Business in a Changing World
Economic pressure and societal strains have become increasingly heightened over the past few years as countries struggle to address climate change, rising conflict, educational divides, health challenges, and growing inequality – all of which impact children’s lives. Meanwhile, there are growing expectations from financial markets and society on business transparency and accountability for delivering solutions that are good for people and planet.
This year’s Global Child Forum took a deep dive into two sectors – the Food, Beverage & Personal Care sector and the Tech & Telecom sector that both share many commonalities and have the potential for an enormous positive impact on children. Both sectors have been influenced by global events which have unintended consequences on children. Yet, there are also exciting opportunities and cross-sector learnings that can be harnessed for the betterment of a company’s bottom line – and to the benefit of children.
Featuring inspiring keynote speakers and a range of interactive working sessions, with possibilities to exchange insights on sustainability topics closely aligned with children’s wellbeing, the Global Child Forum offered an opportunity for companies in these sectors to network with peers, share best practices and identify their risks and opportunities.
