The Centre’s Child Rights in Business (CRIB) Working Group brings companies together to collaborate, share best practice, and access the latest information and insights related to child rights. 

CRIB Members gain access to a continuous flow of data and updates from The Centre’s teams working on the ground to address child rights issues in supply chains. These insights equip companies with the knowledge you need to keep on top of child rights issues, make informed decisions, and develop and refine your strategy using up to date data.  

CRIB membership also includes access to The Centre's Child Labour Rapid Response service, which guarantees The Centre's readiness to act immediately when a case of suspected child labour is reported at a supplier factory or production site. CRIB members also have the opportunity to collaborate with The Centre and other members on joint initiatives to address child labour risks and advance child rights in supply chains. 

The CRIB Working Group meets three times a year, with virtual and in-person meetings held in Hong Kong and at key sourcing locations. The Working Group offers a collaborative and confidential space where members can cooperate with The Centre and other brands/retailers and suppliers on identifying common challenges, sharing resources and experiences, and implementing best practices regarding children, young workers and working (migrant) parents in the supply chain.
