CWT has once again highlighted its determination
to beat human trafficking, signing The Code of Conduct for the
Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation in Travel and
Tourism (The Code).
The Code is a partnership initiative between the
travel and tourism sector and ECPAT, a global non-profit
organization working to protect children from trafficking, sexual
exploitation and online abuse.
By signing The Code, CWT has committed to uphold
the six criteria of The Code, including establishing policies and
procedures, training employees, implementing contractual clauses,
providing information to travelers and engaging with stakeholders
on prevention and annually reporting on all related activities.

“ECPAT-USA is thrilled that CWT remains a
steadfast ambassador and partner of The Code, lending its
unwavering support to our child protection programs in truly
meaningful ways. We thank CWT for its continued leadership in the
anti-trafficking movement,” said Yvonne Chen, Director of Private
Sector Engagement, ECPAT-USA.
CWT is an active and longstanding supporter in the
fight against human trafficking, dedicated to The Code’s efforts
to raise awareness externally, engage employees internally,
develop more effective policies, research, and build tools against
human trafficking and child sexual exploitation.
“Every child in the world has the right to grow up
free from the fear of exploitation and have a decent and safe
life. It is paramount that we all stay vigilant, and hopefully
businesses like ours can help make that a reality,” said Lauren Aste, Executive Vice President & Chief Legal Officer. “Signing The
Code from ECPAT marks CWT’s continuous commitment and leadership
to keeping children safe anywhere around the world.”
