Because traditional boundaries of corporate good are evolving to include a more strategic and holistic view of corporate activities, ATII aims to uphold our ESG priorities and to achieve our UN Sustainable Development Goals (5, 8, and 16) by combating human trafficking across the globe.
As public and private organizations continue to collaborate in the creation of a uniform front to fight human trafficking, we will see a true impact in educating many industries, to include not only risk & compliance staff but also frontline workers like tellers, relationship managers, and branch leaders.
