Marriott Combats Child Sexual Exploitation

Shareowner engagement by Boston Common Asset Management and the First Swedish National Pension Fund prompts Marriott to explicitly address child sex tourism in its human rights policy...Carlson Hotels and Accor Hotels demonstrate industry best practice by adopting the Code of Conduct for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation in Travel & Tourism...Rev. Schilling [of Interfaith Center for Social Responsibility said]..."We want to address this in a systematic way giving companies--whether it's hotels such as Hilton or Starwood or cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean or Carnival--opportunities to respond...If there's no response or if the response is insufficient, then we would move forward with a shareholder resolution."
