The company provides hotlines to their direct employees and suppliers. They do not mention whether the hotlines are also accessible to supply chain workers.

"The Company encourages its employees and suppliers (where permitted by law) to report certain matters confidentially or anonymously through its third party whistleblower hotline without fear of retaliation, including circumstances that may give rise to slavery or human trafficking concerns. In addition, for our WHG operations in North America, we make available a third party hotline, operated by Polaris, whereby employees of our WHG managed hotel properties can consult with experts who will help them identify suspected signs of slavery and human trafficking and report such matters to the authorities. Moreover, globally, WHG distributes information at our owned and managed hotel properties that assists employees with identifying potential signs of slavery and human trafficking and provides a process for timely escalating concerns within the organization."
