COMPANIES MUST PLAY FAIR

About the podcast

Fair Play is a podcast from Global Child Forum where we bring together voices of leaders and changemakers to explore how children’s rights can move from the margins to the heart of corporate agendas. Because when companies play fair, children win, and so does the world.

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.
