The Principles on Business and Children's Rights developed by UNICEF, Save the Children and the UN Global Compact provide guidance for establishing a business-wide engagement with children's rights.
In order to achieve the desired end goal, sustainable business conduct respecting child rights, it is key to develop a framework for measuring company performance in this area and also offering guidance on reporting. For this reason we request to GRI to include the Principles as one of the guidance docs for GRI4 for Human rights, labor, society and product responsibility sections
We would like to urge GRI to anticipate developments in the field of children's rights and help corporations become more involved in taking action in support of children's rights.
