The Children’s Rights and Business Principles are a set of practical guiding principles for businesses on how to respect and support children’s rights within their business operations. The initiative to develop the Principles was launched in June 2010 by 3 partners: the UN Global Compact, UNICEF and Save the Children. The event will welcome approximately 200 participants from the corporate sector, as well as key stakeholders from civil society, academia and others. In addition to launching the Principles, the event will aim to raise awareness about children’s rights and will feature roundtable discussions exploring how the Principles can be successfully implemented. This event is by invitation only. Draft Agenda | Speakers | Logistical Note |
Child Rights and Business Principles Initiative Consultation with the Corporate Sector |

5 May, 2011 |
This half day meeting invited European businesses to engage in discussions which contributed to the development and finalisation of the Children’s Rights and Business Principles. The Principles, due to be launched in 2012, seek to provide guidance as to what business can do to minimize the potential negative impact of their business on children and maximize the positive contribution they can make to children’s lives. This session is part of an extensive multi-stakeholder consultation process across sectors and geographies. |
