Senior Child Rights and Business Advisor, Save the Children Sweden

7c-mattias-forsberg “ICI represents a powerful platform for Save the Children’s engagement with the private sector, with the aim of advancing children’s rights in the chocolate and cocoa industry. ICI’s strategic goal to promote child protection in rural communities, while also promoting a broader child rights approach in the industry through the Children’s Rights and Business Principles, means that we share similar visions. By uniting our skill-sets and our fields of influence, we will turn those visions into a transformative reality.”
