"As part of Marriott’s sustainability and social impact platform, Serve 360, the company is making progress
against its public human rights goals, specifically on human trafficking awareness and prevention. Since we
established a human trafficking awareness training requirement, over 500,000 associates have been trained.
By 2025, we have committed that 100 percent of on-property associates globally will have completed required
human rights awareness training. We have also set a 2025 Goal to enhance or embed human rights criteria in
our recruitment and sourcing policies and work with our industry to address human rights risks in the hotel
construction phase. ... HUMAN RIGHTS AWARENESS PROGRAMME: In June 2016, we rolled out comprehensive human
trafficking training addressing human trafficking, child exploitation and forced labour available in 15
languages. The purpose of the training “Your Role in Preventing Human Trafficking: Know the Signs” is
to raise awareness of all forms of human trafficking and educate associates on the indicators and what
they can do should they suspect potential issues. At the beginning of 2017, we made human trafficking
awareness training a requirement for all on-property associates across both managed and franchised
properties. In 2018, we translated the human trafficking awareness training into an additional two
languages to promote greater accessibility for the global workforce. The training is now available in 17
different languages. At year-end, approximately 280,000 additional associates globally had completed
human trafficking awareness training; bringing the total to over 500,000 since the training launched.
To further reinforce awareness of human trafficking and common indicators for hotel management and
staff, human trafficking signage was created for back-of-house posting. A total of five different posters
were made available for hotel use, with at least one poster translated into 17 different languages for
greater accessibility. "

entire Marriott portfolio of brands globally.1
