04 May 2022 --- As the war in Ukraine rages on, major Western companies are coming under increasing scrutiny for continuing business dealings with Russia despite the raising of sanctions and divestments by governments and industry worldwide. Some of the West’s biggest players – including Lactalis, Agrana and Mondi have refused to leave the country. Others, like ADM, Cargill and Barry Callebaut, have announced the scaling down of nonessential operations or halting capital investments. Many say that abandoning business in the country would only bring further harm to innocent people and have no impact on the war or those in power.
