Question:
Does the company’s statement identify specific geographic regions (e.g. Indonesia), industries (e.g. agriculture), resources (e.g. Palm Oil) or types of workforce (e.g. migrant workers) where the risk of modern slavery is the greatest?"
Answer:
Workforce
This isn't a strong reference, but at the top of page 4, under the heading 'Non-Governmental Organisations' in the 'External Stakeholder Engagement and Programs' section, the following is noted:
"For over 20 years, Marriott has offered the Youth Career
Initiative (YCI), a 24-week education and life enhancing programme for young people at risk, at our
hotels in nine countries and territories within Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Eastern Europe."
With regard to industries at high risk of trafficking, last para on page 3:
"Through our membership, we collaborate with other global hospitality companies to address critical issues that affect our industry and actively contribute to key industry initiatives such as the creation of the Industry Position Statement on Human Trafficking, Supply Chain Working Group risk-mapping which highlighted agency and construction workers as a high-risk area for trafficking".
