from a number of family-friendly programs:
There is an on-site nursery to assist employees when they need help with child-care during work hours
-
-
A special program is also in place to allow mothers to continue breastfeeding upon returning to work
General guidance and assistance is given on personal, financial, and health issues
An annual 'children's day' is organized when the children of workers can visit their parents in their workplace and learn about what they do
Underprivileged employees are provided housing renovations
Scholarships to employee's children are promoted as basic education remains a challenging issue hampering the future development of Thai children
All these actions show to be very beneficial for local women and girl's rights as women are often the main caregivers. Beyond the workplace, the Rosy Blue Business Alliance collaborates and partners up with local NGO's and local governmental agencies, on projects that respect the local community and their culture. Initiatives such as planting 60,000 trees, awareness programs on HIV/AIDS, support disaster relief initiatives, and anti-drug and tobacco education can rely on our support. These are just a few examples of how the Rosy Blue Business Alliance is implementing children's rights within the community where we have operations.
The Fourth Step - Reporting
As the Rosy Blue Business Alliance is member of the UN Global Compact, we communicate on our performance to our stakeholders on a regular basis through our Report to Society and this Communication on Progress report (18).

The Rosy Blue Business Alliance does recognize that reporting on progress in children's rights implementation is new to us and that until now, we have not set up a reporting framework specifically on Children's Rights to show progress. That is why we continue to actively participate in the Committee to learn from and de-bate with peer companies and experts on issues and opportunities regarding the Children's Rights and Business Principles
