Creating Markets for Child-Friendly Growth
by Suzanne Nievaart
May 6, 2014
Post 

Addressing child labour through G20 public procurement

G20 nations should use their massive purchasing power to address child labour exploitation and build strong, sustained and balanced economic growth. While global value chains can provide positive economic opportunities, persistent pressures to create products at the lowest possible price and the fragmentation of production processes means that child labour can be hidden at virtually any stage of production. Creating markets for child-friendly growth, says the G20 is ideally placed to take co-ordinated action to influence the market conditions which allow child exploitation to continue.

Child Rights and CSR in China

Child Rights and Corporate Social Responsbility in China

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a concept that revolves around the integration of social and environmental concerns in a company’s business operations. 

The rights of a child can be affected, both positively and negatively, in any part of the business process. The responsibility of companies towards children has its basis in legal obligations. However, going beyond the traditional approach of fundraising and charities, more far reaching commitments regarding child-rights are becoming an important part of companies’ CSR strategies, also in China.

Below you can find the latest updated guide from CCR CSR, edited in April 2014.
