The Benchmark Report 2024 has arrived

Global Child Forum has analysed:

  • 1802 influential companies:
  • From 8 sectors and 6 regions
  • With a combined revenue of $39.6 trillion

What did we find?

Overall company performance has decreased since last year: By adding more than 900 companies in 2024, we saw a 12% drop in score versus 2023, resulting in a total average score of 4.3 out of 10.

Europe and North America outperform the rest of the world: This is likely due to the stricter reporting requirements for companies in these regions.

Healthcare leads while Energy and Utilities lags behind:

  • Healthcare companies delivered the highest average score of 5.8 out of 10
  • Energy and Utilities companies have work to do, averaging just 3.3 out of 10

Three key child rights topics emerged from the data:

  • Children’s Mental Health: Technology companies must ensure product safety and responsibility.
  • Children’s Nutritional Health: Food producers and retailers must market and advertise responsibly.
  • Corporate Climate Action: Companies must monitor suppliers’ environmental or community impact.
