"It is shameful and unethical": the media called well -known companies that do not go from the Russian Federation

According to American researchers, the Dutch beer giant Heineken not only did not keep his promise to leave Russia, but also expand his business in the aggressor country during a full-scale war. A number of well-known companies that have pledged to leave the Russian Federation after the start of a full-scale war in Ukraine are still working in the territory of the aggressor country. About it writes CNN on July 11 with reference to the study of Yale University.

It is reported that in the last 500 days more than 1000 large companies have declared their departure from the Russian market. However, according to American researchers, not all business owners maintained their words. "These companies violate their promises. They act as speculators of wartime. It is more than disappointed. It is shameful and unethical," said Professor Jeff University, Jeff Zonnenefeld. As an example, Zonnenefeld is given by the Dutch Beer Giant Heineken.

It is reported that in March last year the company was praised for a statement of departure from Russia, but there are still seven brewery in the Russian Federation. In addition, during this time, Heineken launched a number of new brands in the Russian Federation. "They do not give up. They double the bet," said the Director of Research on the Yale Institute, Stephen Tian.

Speaking of companies that, contrary to the promises, still work in the Russian Federation, researchers mentioned a giant for the production of snacks and candies Mondelez, which produces Oreo cookies, triscuit crackers and Nabisco snacks. The list also includes Unilever and Philip Morris. "Consumers need to understand that by supporting these companies, they support what Putin is fueling," said Jeff Zonnenfeld.
