La Garanzia europea per l'Infanzia è un programma pilota biennale che contribuirà a sviluppare una cornice comune tramite la redazione di Piani Nazionali d'Azione sulla prevenzione e il contrasto della povertà ed esclusione sociale minorile. Da luglio 2020 l'UNICEF sta lavorando col Governo italiano ed altri attori nazionali e locali, incluse le Organizzazioni del Terzo Settore e i bambini stessi, per dare attuazione al programma nell'ambito delle aree e dei beneficiari individuati come prioritari, tra i quali vi sono anche i minorenni con disabilità.

As one response to this, business enterprises are increasingly engaged in promoting sport and physical activity (PA) initiatives within the frame of corporate social responsibility (CSR). However, comparative analyses among industry sectors of CSR strategies for PA promotion with a particular focus on children are still lacking.

The hypothesis was that companies from different sectors employ different CSR strategies and that companies with a higher profile as regard to public health concerns for children tend t...
