UNICEF, Save The Children, and UN Global Compact are three founding organizations of the Children's Rights and Business Principles launched in 2013. The 10 Principles acknowledge that business presence, operations, products/services and brands are affecting children's life everyday directly and indirectly as described in Children's Rights and Business Principles document.
In Indonesia, the three organizations are represented by UNICEF Indonesia, Yayasan Sayangi Tunas Cilik and Indonesian Global Compact Network (IGCN). Since 2013, the works of advocacy to mainstream Children's Rights and Business Principles in Indonesia has started. After 5 years of its launch, the adoption of the principles was still very low. The facts that Indonesia has more than 2 million businesses operating across the nation, and limited resources within the three organizations promoting this principle were contributing the result of this slow adoption.

Details of the "BCR" working group strategy and work plan will be decided in consultation with multi-stakeholders forum to increase ownership and participation of all stakeholders engaged in this working group, but no later than end of 2018.
