Beijing, 3 December 2015 – Today, UNICEF in partnership with the China WTO Tribune and the GoldenBee, launched the Children's Rights in Sustainability Reporting tool at the 8th International Conference on CSR Reporting in China. The event, which brings together many corporations and industry partners working in corporate social responsibility, analyzes the progress in China to measure social responsibility initiatives as part of their annual reporting responsibilities. It is part of a broader effort to build capacity in this emerging sector in China.
The Children's Rights in Sustainability Reporting tool is a guide to help companies integrate child rights reporting into the Global Reporting Initiatives (GRI) reporting framework. It gives practical advice for each disclosure topic in the GRI 3.1 and 4 versions. UNICEF is pleased to present this guide in Chinese so that companies in China can enhance their sustainability reporting.
The Children's Rights in Sustainability Reporting tool is part of a suite of practical tools designed to accompany the Children's Rights and Business Principles (CRBP), which was launched in China in 2012 by UNICEF, the UN Global Compact, and Save the Children. The United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights represent a milestone in the business and human rights discussion. However, recognizing the need for stronger visibility of children's rights, Save the Children, the United Nations Global Compact and UNICEF joined forces to develop the Children's Rights and Business Principles released in 2012, to give business a clear idea of where and how their business might impact children.Children's rights and business principles set out business action to respect and support children's rights.
The CRBP is available for download in Chinese and both documents, plus a useful quick guide, are all available under publication section.
