'Shameless' for continued involvement with Russia;'without having to make a sacrifice' for a 3 to below Exposure Score;'failing to use its Power' for a 4 to 10 in Power Score.
It isn’t a surprise that Chinese companies are not pulling out of Russia. However, Industrial & Commercial shouldn’t be tempted by any ‘safety in numbers’ strategy. This is because HSBC – which is quasi-Chinese and certainly at commercial risk if it breaks with Chinese government policy of supporting Russia – has already decided to break ranks. HSBC has pledged to reduce its Russian operations, which, compared to the failures of the Mainland Chinese banks, looks like a heroic act.
Our simple question to the Beijing bank’s CEO Mr. Gu Shu is, “If HSBC can do it, why can’t you?”
Perhaps ICBC independent director Nout Weillink, a Dutch economist and ex-chairman of his country’s Central Bank, could talk to Mr. Shu about banking ethics and moral responsibilities. Perhaps Mr. Shu is instead listening to his other directors, many of whom are former officials of the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China. If ICBC won’t listen to Mr. Weillink, what’s his role on the board? He should resign, just as the directors of Huawei UK did after the telecom company failed to resign from Russia.

This is a company that has prided itself on not getting its hands dirty with Russia, specifically citing its long-standing policy of working with the Russian market from the outside. Given this pre-invasion distancing policy, it is surprising it took the company so long to make its move. Peers in online businesses moved earlier (Meta on 25 February and Alphabet on 4 March). For this delay, Amazon's Speed Score suffered a Chicken Penalty of 2. It also suffered a Pressure Penalty of 2 for moving after it received a letter from the Ukrainian government asking it to cut off the AWS Cloud Services in Russia. Also, the wording of Amazon's statement (referring to historical policies and not ascribing its "horror" to the perpetrator) puts it in the Mealy-Mouther category. If it has never wanted to associate with the Russian government, why can't it admonish the invasion properly?
Meanwhile, it made a big deal of the contributions to Ukraine, but as a percentage of its profits these are de minimis. For all these reasons, this without-excuse company could have got a rating of 100 instead of 62. What's really important, however, is that Amazon did the right thing and delivered impact. Our calculations show an Exposure level of only 1, partly on account of the sheer size of Amazon, in contrast to a Power level of 10. This meant the company was looking at a morally/commercially irresistible Return on Sacrifice opportunity of 1,000%. Amazon made the right decision even if it was a no-brainer.

Has Meta behaved well? If we consider that it acted one day after the invasion, that it pulled state-run media company ads on Facebook, took down anti-Ukrainian activities on its platform, and that Russia retaliated by finding Meta guilty of extremist activity in a Moscow court, it looks like a perfect picture.
However, when we look deeper, we see a different picture. First, the Announcement didn't carry a leadership level denouncement of Russia, making Meta a Mealy-Mouther. But the real failing is that the company continues to offer a major online advertising platform to most companies in Russia. This is of value to the Russian economy or it wouldn't be using the platform. Meta is right that it has a moral duty to allow Russian people to use its media to avoid government censorship and propaganda by obtaining information and communicating with each other freely. But it doesn't need to run advertising at the same time. It could easily be an ad-free environment. That way, Meta could help democracy by undermining censorship and propaganda, while also undermining the economy.
Since Meta, unlike Alphabet's Google, is lining its pockets in this way, we have given it 2 points in Degree for its state-media advertising ban. It gets 10 out of 10 on Speed, by making its move a week before Alphabet and ten days before Amazon.
Since 1.8% of its revenues come from Russia, we gave it an Exposure level of 3.5. Its Power is extreme, from a combination of economic and psychological factors. Imagine the impact on tens of millions of Russians seeing empty ads on the platform in protest, or even better a statement saying that Meta refuses to make money from Russia at this time but continues service as a censorship-free medium for the public good.
It is disappointing and ironic that the company that has made money in the past from selling ads to Russian-controlled and Russian-sympathetic parties trying to influence voters in Western democracies – including for a US presidential election and the Brexit referendum – didn't have the morality to do something to help democracy when it had the chance.

JPMorgan said it would be "unwinding", "in compliance with directives by governments around the world" and had not been “pursuing any new business”. The bank added, “current activities are limited, including helping global clients address and close out pre-existing obligations; managing their Russian-related risk; acting as a custodian to our clients; and taking care of our employees.”
JPMorgan was later criticized by Senator Elizabeth Warren for continuing to trade Russian debt on the secondary market. She described JPMorgan’s actions, along with Goldman Sachs’, as “war profiteering”.
Reading what banks have done about Russia is like playing a game of ‘Spot the Difference’. JPMorgan said it would be “unwinding” its Russian business, Goldman Sachs said it would be “winding down”. These two parrots said almost the same thing on the same day. Then, three others followed the parrots like sheep out of Russia, half-heartedly: Citi gave the excuse of “new business or clients”, HSBC “new business or customers” and BNP “any new business”. Either they must think the same way or be using the same PR strategist. These excuses make them all Nibblers.
JPMorgan’s statement is too vague to get many points from us. When will this famous unwinding actually start or be completed? Moreover, doing the wrong thing to help others do the right thing sounds like a moral derivative rather than the financial derivative JPMorgan invented in 1994. We also wonder how much money there is to be made by “helping” others. This and the bank’s excuse for delay also being needed to take care of employees classifies it as what we politely call a Confused Humanitarian in our lexicon. Finally, if that is not enough to be embarrassed about, the bank continued to trade Russian debt through a loophole.
Banding together with peers is worse than misbehaving on its own. This adds to the contagion effect which is why we give Leader of the Pack bonuses to discourage sheeplike behavior. Besides, safety in numbers may seem like a clever strategy until you’re exposed as being in the doghouse, which is how we rate this bunch of banks. We are calling them all out for not getting out properly.
The investment banking pioneer should show some pioneering spirit, break ranks, and get credit for launching a Domino Effect on the rest of the flock. It’s a pity when a company known for being fast and courageous for its own profit is so slow and morally uncourageous when the profit isn’t there.

On 2 March, IBM described the "deteriorating situation involving Ukraine and Russia". Reuters reported that IBM had taken no sides on a call with employees that day and hundreds of workers had objected in response. Apparently, the CEO may have used the word "conflict" because next he said, "I'd like to acknowledge that the correct word to use is "war" not "conflict." He added, "we condemn the Russian war in Ukraine."
In terms of its plans, on 3 March IBM said, "In addition to not selling technology in Russia, we do not do business with Russian military organizations". On 6 March, IBM revised its position saying it had "stopped selling technology in Russia". Then, on 7 March, the CEO said he had heard from many employees and revised the position yet again, saying, "we have suspended all business in Russia." The Wall Street Journal has reported that companies including IBM have faced threats from the Russian government of arrest or asset seizures for withdrawing or criticizing Russia. On 9 May, the CEO told Reuters, "The government has not really taken our assets," and in the same interview said the company's ability to keep supporting employees in Russia "may go away" as sanctions build. On 7 June, it had “started to lay off its employees” in light of escalating sanctions impact its ability to retain its staff.

According to Philip Morris' website, it employs more than 3,200 people in Russia. It has two factories and Russia has become a significant market for the company since entering in the 1970s under an agreement with the USSR.
Regarding the war in Ukraine, the company said, "We have watched with shock the war in Ukraine and condemn the violence in the strongest possible terms." It announced the "suspension" of "planned investments", and that it "activated plans to scale down its manufacturing operations in Russia amid ongoing supply chain disruptions and the evolving regulatory environment."
In a later statement on 24 March, it detailed "concrete steps" and "discontinued a number of its cigarette products", "suspended marketing activities" in Russia and "canceled all product launches".
Philip Morris has made two different statements which together add up to very little. The first one could hardly have been vaguer – saying it had "activated plans" to scale back manufacturing. It also included a Red Herring about future investments. The second statement didn't add much more clarity. The company's first statement is the Announcement on which it is rated.
Despite condemning the war, Philip Morris focused on supply chain and regulatory issues as the reasons for its plans to cut back manufacturing, so it looked more commercially than morally motivated. Reasons aside, it's impossible to quantify how much of the in-country operations are planning to be reduced. Considering this, and that there was no statement about trade cutbacks, we are giving the company credit for 1.6 points in Degree.
It does, however, get a good Speed Score, partly for its early statement, but also for beating British American Tobacco by two days, for which we gave PM a Leader of Pack bonus. The Exposure level is one of the highest we have monitored. Whether we measure the company on profits, revenues, or employees in Russia, it breaks the top threshold. Although we don't excuse Philip Morris for its failure to do the right thing, it's clear that it has a huge financial disincentive to get out of Russia. This is the sort of situation that may require Western sanctions to see proper action.
