What is good for children is also good for companies
Children are consumers, members of employees' families, users of products and services, and the workforce and leaders of tomorrow. Whether through parents' working conditions, advertising, supply chains or innovation, business decisions shape children's everyday lives and their future.
By investing in children's rights, your company not only contributes to sustainable development and social good—it also strengthens trust, enhances its reputation and builds long-term resilience.
This is why we invite you to join the UNICEF Friends Club.

"Nelt Group is committed to creating meaningful change in our communities. Through our partnership with UNICEF, we are making strategic investments to equip children and young people with the essential 21st-century skills they need. These skills are crucial for understanding the world we live in today, as well as for meeting the evolving demands of the labour market. This partnership aims to prepare them for the challenges they will face tomorrow, ensuring they are ready to seize the opportunities ahead and make a meaningful contribution as the leaders of the future"
"I am extremely proud of the partnership with UNICEF, which we have been building together for almost twenty years, jointly contributing to improving the quality of life and creating better conditions for children’s development in Serbia and around the world. In addition to a number of projects focused on early childhood development and parenting, Banca Intesa is one of the first banks to have provided continuous systemic support to the Fund by enabling clients to make donations at branches free of charge, as well as through standing orders since 2012. Since the introduction of the new “Donate through the app” feature within Banca Intesa Mobi in 2023, this service has also been available to clients through mobile banking, with no additional fees. In less than a year since UNICEF became part of the system covered by this unique feature, nearly 125,000 client donations have been generated, with a total value of almost RSD 8.8 million."
"By supporting UNICEF through our partnership, we encourage new generations of young people to realize their dreams, develop digital skills and acquire the knowledge needed to prepare for a future career. Our mission is to serve as a bridge between the younger generations and the labour market they are about to enter. Special emphasis is placed on vulnerable and marginalized groups, as well as on promoting girls' education in STEM fields."
