Former Prime Minister of Sweden
Stockholm Royal Palace
1 December 2022, Sweden
The Global Child Forum, on behalf of Their Majesties the King and Queen of Sweden, is hosting an exclusive, invitation-only, global forum on children’s rights and business at the Royal Palace in Stockholm, Sweden.
We will be hosting top company executives in two high impact sectors: Tech & Telecom; and Food, Beverage & Personal Care. The Forum will showcase how a child rights perspective can bring value to these sectors by sharing insights, best practices, co-learning, and how companies can create a positive impact on children’s lives.
Featuring inspiring keynote speakers, and a range of interactive working sessions with several opportunities to exchange insights from peers and experts on a range of sustainability topics closely intertwined to children’s well-being, the Global Forum is the greatest opportunity in the calendar year for companies in these sectors to not only understand what the most pressing issues are, but also where their gaps sit.
A selected set of stakeholders, including investors, industry associations, multilaterals, child rights organisations and youth perspectives from around the world will bring their perspectives to the conversation. They will also be present to give a wider and deeper understanding of key-issues affecting children as a consequence of private sector policy.
The Forum will focus on creating bespoke break-out sessions speaking to industry initiatives and gaps with the aim to show that children’s rights, beyond being a moral choice, is one that makes business sense. Companies that engage in children’s rights find an increased improvement in employee retention, increased legitimacy across operations globally, contribute to more sustainable, stable, and inclusive markets as well as increasing their brand value reputation claims.
