Delta Awarded Thomson Reuters Stop Slavery Award
Delta’s comprehensive work to #GetOnBoard against human trafficking has been recognized as the top global corporate campaign fighting slavery by Thomson Reuters Foundation’s 2020 Stop Slavery Awards.
Delta’s #GetOnBoard campaign tackles human trafficking from every angle. This includes developing strong partnerships, training employees, volunteering, engaging customers, lobbying for legislation and supporting human trafficking survivors.
The first airline to sign ECPAT’s Code of Conduct in 2011, Delta has led the fight against human trafficking for almost 10 years. Delta has committed $2.5 million to the anti-trafficking experts at Polaris, in support of the U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline. The airline has also developed training for employees to identify and report human trafficking. So far, over 86,000 Delta people have been trained, with training for the remaining 4,000 targeted for completion by mid-year.
