Children are key stakeholders of your business, but are often overlooked. We invite you to adopt the Children’s Rights and Business Principles, which provide a framework for business to respect and support children’s rights.

Apply these principles to help maximize the positive contributions and minimize negative impacts on children. The Principles outline what you can do in the workplace, marketplace and community to better respect and support children’s rights.

These action steps are built on and aligned with other standards, initiatives and good practices related to business and children. The Principles were developed by UNICEF, the UN Global Compact and Save the Children.

The Principles provide a framework for business to maximize the positive contributions and minimize negative impacts on children. We offer a range of tools and resources to help you implement the Principles. To learn more, visit the Children's Rights and Business Principles website.
