UNICEF welcomes the initiative of the European Commission for a Directive introducing a sustainability due diligence requirement for companies as well as a monitoring and enforcement mechanism. To effectively prevent, address, and remedy harms to children, children’s rights must be explicitly reflected in both the text of the Directive and in all instruments supporting its implementation.
