Child Rights and Business Principles
Child Rights and Business Principles is a bold and vital initiative driven by the Gitech Foundation, aimed at aligning business conduct with the universal rights of children. Launched globally through the joint leadership of the United Nations Global Compact, Save the Children, and UNICEF, this framework empowers businesses to become active defenders and promoters of children's rights in South Africa and beyond.
Summary
At Gitech Foundation, we believe that business is not just a vehicle for profit — it is a powerful platform to shape lives. The Child Rights and Business Principles guide companies to respect children’s rights as a minimum standard, and to support them through proactive, voluntary measures that uplift, protect, and empower children in the workplace, marketplace, and community. Together, we can make child-centered decision-making a standard across corporate South Africa.
- Advocating for child-friendly business policies and environments
- Promoting fair labour, safety, and dignity for working youth and their families
- Supporting education, nutrition, healthcare, and protection of all children through partnerships
We invite your business to become a voice of transformation. Join the dialogue. Be an advocate. Take action. Let’s create a future where every child’s right is protected, and every business is part of that promise. Supporting children’s rights is everyone’s business — and the ultimate definition of true sustainability.
