UNICEF’s Tool for Investors on integrating Children’s Rights into ESG analysis aims to provide actors within the investor ecosystem with specific guidance on analyzing companies against children’s rights. Specifically, the tool sets out a framework for assessing how companies manage and address risks to children as part of their approach to human rights due diligence and social responsibility within ESG analysis.Participants will put the tool to use by analyzing two investment opportunities and scoring them against several criteria laid out within the tool. Groups will share their findings and engage in a rich conversation about the importance of children’s rights in investing.
