Child rights and mining toolkit
Best practices for addressing children’s issues in large-scale mining

Highlights
The Children’s Rights and Business Principles developed by UNICEF, the United Nations Global Compact and Save the Children, in 2012, are the first comprehensive set of principles to guide companies on the full range of actions they can take in the workplace, marketplace and community to respect and support children’s rights. As part of its approach to implementing these principles, UNICEF is developing sector-specific guidance for businesses that are aiming to integrate respect and support for children’s rights into their policies, operations, due diligence, relationships with governments and investments in local communities.
