"We utilize the EcoVadis platform, third party due diligence consultants, and our own internal due diligence process to assess third parties’ practices with respect to human rights."

pg. 4

"We mapped our operating hotels and pipeline countries against 11 external human rights risk indices in both operations and supply chain. For example, the Modern Slavery Index assesses the risk to business in any industry of the possible association with or exposure to practices of slavery, servitude, trafficking in persons and forced labour by state and non-state actors within its supply chain, as defined by global risk and strategic consulting firm Verisk-Maplecroft."

"We supplement our index-based mapping exercises with data collected via our internal Global Enterprise Risk Survey, which is distributed to more than 270 Hilton leaders, and includes human rights and modern slavery issues. The Global Intelligence team uses a social media-monitoring platform that identifies possible human trafficking situations based on keyword scraping and commercial ads."
