UNICEF invites you to Child-Lens Investing Talks, a series of virtual events providing practical perspectives on children’s rights in investment strategies.

The first event in the series, Public Equity Strategies for Future Generations on 2 February 2026, focuses on Child-Lens Investing in public equity. Participants will receive hands-on guidance on the fundamentals of child rights integration. UNICEF will introduce the Child-Lens Investing Framework, while representatives from Triodos Investment Management, Allianz Global Investors and Norges Bank Investment Management will share how and why they include children’s rights in their investment analysis and decision-making.

Child-Lens Investing Talks Series

This three-part series offers investors a unique opportunity to engage with experts and peers on business-relevant child rights risks and impacts. Through real-life examples, we explore concrete measures and use cases for integrating child rights into investment practices, enabling investors to drive positive outcomes for children, society, and investment portfolios.

Organised by UNICEF Finland and UNICEF Sweden and featuring international investors and child rights & business experts, the series aims to catalyze a new era of Nordic+ leadership in strategic child rights integration. Discussions will outline actions investors can take both individually and collectively.
