Integrating Child Welfare into Corporate Social Responsibility Strategies: An Analysis of Best Practices

Abstract

This scholarly article investigates the incorporation of integrated child welfare initiatives within Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) frameworks, emphasizing exemplary practices across diverse sectors. As corporates increasingly recognize the significance of social sustainability, the promotion of child welfare has emerged as an essential component of robust CSR models. The research delineates effective programs that prioritize child welfare, demonstrating how businesses can generate positive outcomes for children while remaining congruent with their fundamental values. The article conducts qualitative case study research to identify crucial elements that enhance effective integration, including the engagement of stakeholders, partnerships with non-governmental organizations, and conformity to global standards like the UN  Convention on the Rights of the Child. The conclusions aim to assist corporations in refining their CSR strategies and contribute to the ongoing dialogue regarding responsible corporate citizenship pertaining to child protection and development.
