“Slavery and human tracking are illegal. Yet, there are still an estimated 40.3 million people trapped in modern slavery around the world today.”
The global demand for cheap labour fuels the trade in humans and market forces create both the supply and the demand for these people. The hotel and hospitality sector employs 292 million people worldwide (1 in 10 people globally) and contributes 10.2% of the global GDP. Hospitality has been identified as a sector at risk of modern slavery. Hospitality businesses need to take the lead in the fight against modern slavery and human tracking (herein referred to as “modern slavery”).
This Stop Slavery Blueprint (the “Blueprint”) sets out the key principles to be embedded into a hotel as part of its fight against modern slavery. It provides guidance and recommendations in the form of:
• Policies and practices • Procedures and protocols • A checklist of suggested actions
These are meant to be adopted across hotels and across departments. The Blueprint provides further specific guidance for individual managers, department heads and teams where appropriate. The guidance focuses on the following key risk areas:
Individual sales
Check-in systems
Guest monitoring

The Blueprint provides guidance on transparency, reporting, performance measurement, business partner engagement, risk assessment, business authentication, and investigation and remediation. Employees can refer to the relevant sections below for further information or contact their manager to discuss these policies in further detail.
General Managers can familiarise themselves with this Blueprint and associated documents to help in the identification and prevention of modern slavery and to conduct business in a manner such that the opportunity for any incidence of modern slavery is prevented.
To demonstrate the organisation’s commitment to implementing the recommendations contained within this Blueprint, a statement can be included in company handbooks and starff reading materials as appropriate. See an example Statement.
