Promoting National Guidelines on Responsible Business Conduct

The Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) explicitly covers child rights only through the lens of Child labour, rather companies through the template should be encouraged to look at how issues like maternity and paternity benefits, health and accidental insurance, EIA, SIA, HRDD and others impact children, how they assume different roles as economic actors, including consumers. In this way, the BRSR leaves a large scope wherein it can incorporate direct and pointed questions for companies that create space for a clear understanding of how children and child rights are impacted by their business operations and the need for businesses to recognise human rights of children.
