Peer Circle – Business Response to the War in Ukraine

Mar 31, 2022

VENUE: Virtual Meeting

TIME: 11:00am - 12:00 noon

The response from Irish business to the war in Ukraine has been determined and impactful, especially from Business in the Community Ireland member companies. From companies that have ceased business operations and investments in Russia, to companies that quickly committed financial support to organisations working on the frontline with the refugee and humanitarian crisis and companies that have set up supports to newly arrived Ukrainians into Ireland. This response speaks to the critical relevance of this war, the human suffering and loss. This war will again redefine what it means to be a truly responsible business.

We will host a Peer Circle for member companies on this topic on the 31st March to discuss opportunities for collective action to support the victims of the war; how to best support staff and other stakeholders from Ukraine, Russia and bordering countries; and how to support Ukrainians coming to Ireland in the short and medium term.
