RUSSIA

Boycotting Russia isn’t black and white. Western companies are playing games in Shades of Red. Many of them claim they have cut ties with Russia but in fact continue with some activities or fail to follow through with promises. Many are just Moralwashing. The devil is in the detail — quite literally, in this case.

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.

Date of Announcement: 7 March 2022

Our Moral Verdict

This is a story of pulling teeth. It looks like IBM management didn't want its teeth pulled and it has been reported that people ranging from its Ukrainian employees, mainstream employees and the Ukrainian government wanted them pulled. The story of IBM's cutting of Russian links looks like 'too little, too late' in both actions and words. The statements about the war morphed almost by the day, as did statements about what IBM was exactly doing or not. After the dust settled, the CEO said, "We're all learning as we go." You can say that again. Since the statements were on each other's heels, we rated the company on the last of the string, that of 7 March. On this basis, the Announcement is Full, in the sense that the company did make the commitment across all lines of business. However, it's incomplete because the operations are not slated for sale. Indeed, IBM was keeping employees on the payroll, with the argument that it was not their fault (true, but irrelevant to our rating system). For making the employee carve-out, IBM is classified as Nibbler. Despite all of this gnashing of teeth, the company was actually fast compared to the Announcements from peers, a week ahead of Fujitsu, two weeks ahead of NEC and a month ahead of Accenture, for which we gave IBM a Leader of Pack Bonus. Its Attitude Score was harmed by abysmal leadership comments on the war and low financial support for Ukraine as a percentage of profits. IBM has a lot of Exposure to Russia. Based on the CFO telling the Wall Street Journal that 3.48% of its profits were involved, we initially gave it an 8 Exposure Score but topped this up to 10 because it has been threatened by the Russian government in the form of arrest or expropriation. IBM had a 10 in Power over Russia because of its Pull the Rug effect which is significant. This is a company that looks like it is being dragged out of Russia by a combination of sanctions, unhappy employees, and an unhappy sovereign government on its case. Thankfully, it has been forced to take a position it will find difficult to row back from if the wind changes slightly. We are watching to see if it disbands its employees and reaches a greater point of no return.

It has "suspended" shipment of retail products to customers based in Russia and Belarus and will "no longer be accepting new Russia and Belarus-based AWS sign-ups and Amazon third-party sellers." The statement also reported "suspending access to Prime Video for customers based in Russia", and said it had stopped taking orders for New World, its only video game directly sold in Russia. As for the reason, it said, "We have a long-standing policy of not doing business with the Russian government" and it expressed "horror and concern" about the situation.

Date of Announcement: 8 March 2022

Our Moral Verdict

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.

The company stated it recognizes "Russia's attack on Ukraine" as "an act of aggression", and concluded that its "involvement with Rosneft, a state-owned enterprise... cannot continue". It "will exit" its shareholding in Rosneft where it has held a 19.75% since 2013. The statement said that both BP-nominated directors resigned from the Rosneft board. Changes to its accounting treatment of Rosneft mean that the British gas giant will "no longer recognize a share in Rosneft’s net income, production and reserves".

Date of Announcement: 27 February 2022

Our Moral Verdict

BP is a mixed picture. It moved lightning fast and might have had a statement ready in advance of the invasion, beating its peers to the punch and setting off a Domino Exit within the sector: Shell and Equinor the next day, and Exxon Mobil, Chevron, and ENI a day after that, followed by many others in the industry. Moreover, BP made a picture-perfect leadership statement and its donations to Ukraine were generous, fast, detailed and involved its own employees in the field. On top of that, its Exposure is immense. 5% of profitability or cash flow is one of the highest we have monitored. So far, so good. However, its rating was harmed by absence of real actions: the assets must be disposed of. Not many people want to buy Russian assets and their value is huge, making it harder to find someone with deep enough pockets. We rate Announcements of unsold assets without a concrete timeframe with a Degree Score of 4 because, unless the sale of the asset actually happens, there is zero economic impact on Russia and it remains an empty promise. Companies may be unable to find a buyer or find offers insultingly low. Indeed, it's an interesting moral question how many low offers a company should be allowed to reject before accepting what may actually be today’s full market price for Russian assets. In fact, we predict that many promised sales of foreign-owned Russian assets will never be realized because local offers for them will be rejected and the process may run on long enough till the seller can justify canceling it. BP reporting it will not recognize the Rosneft assets and profits in its accounts does not mean that BP won't recognize them in the future if the shares can't be sold and BP can then justify patching things up with Russia. The company has been rated under the rules of Full but Incomplete, but this is one to watch for an Upgrade if BP indeed completes the sale or for a U-Turn if our fears come to pass. BP, currently you are classed as an Asset Sloth with 57 points. Make sure you offload your Russian assets without delay and don't be tempted to sell them to another foreign company which would simply fill your shoes with another foreign investor in Russia, as Shell is reported to be trying to do with Chinese buyers. If you do, we will classify it as a Circular Exit.

Koç is linked to Russia via numerous subsidiaries, such as Arcelik and Tupras, which have local production facilities. We have not monitored any withdrawal Announcement.

Our Moral Verdict

Koç is Turkey’s only representative in Fortune’s Global Top 500 companies. It’s a shame, therefore, that it hasn’t even made it off the starting blocks in the world’s slow race to leave Russia. If it disposed of its Russian production facilities, it could rescue Turkey’s reputation in a single shot, from 0% failure to 100% success out of this sample of one.

The company discontinued "new capital investments" in Russia, and suspended media, advertising, and promotion. It reduced its Russian activities "significantly" to "focus" on providing "basic health, hygiene and personal care items" needed by Russians who "depend on them", as per its 7 March Announcement.

The company condemned aggression "in any circumstance" and said its hearts go out to "all people who endure the unspeakable toll of war". It said it would support its employees in Russia.

Date of Announcement: 7 March 2022

Our Moral Verdict

P&G got almost everything wrong except the timing. It beat Unilever and L’Oréal by 24 hours, for which it got a Leader of the Pack bonus. After that, everything went downhill. Its move was Partial & Incomplete. Partial because it excluded health-related products, as a Confused Humanitarian does, and Incomplete by continuing to support employees, as a Nibbler does. Although it used the word "focus" to describe the continuing products, we don't know if it is focused on the majority of what it had. On top of that, after a Red Herring statement about not making future investments, it had poor Attitude, with a Mealy-Mouther statement that didn't clearly take sides. To make matters worse, it would be a small Sacrifice even if the company withdrew from every product because we estimate Russia at less than 1% of profits. To make matters worse still, this small Exposure compares to a Power Score of 8.5 since P&G employs about 5,000 people in Russia and could have had an Ostracizing effect by pulling so many consumer brands from the shelves. This meant P&G was looking at an 850% Return on Sacrifice. It's a pity it made only a slice of this commercial-moral investment. It needs to cut the rest and sell the factories.

Sysco has been an importer from Russia, with no other Activities. It reported that it is finding alternative suppliers in a clear statement of disconnection with Russia.

Date of Announcement: 17 March 2022

Our Moral Verdict

Not an interesting story. This giant company is only a small importer from Russia which was easily able to quit and switch its sourcing elsewhere. To its credit, it moved quite fast, and we gave it a Leader of Pack bonus for being ahead of its sector. We didn't spot any comment about Russia or the war, so it is classed as a Strong Silent Type. Nor did we see any contribution to Ukraine, so, combined with the statement silence, it ended with a zero Attitude Score. Anyway, it did get out and ahead of its peers.

Saint-Gobain has stopped exports and imports with Russia and Belarus. It said, "Local activities are now operating at a minimum and in autonomous mode to maintain the employment of employees and to mitigate the consequences of this war for them and their families, in accordance with our corporate social responsibility".

The company also stated that all "investment projects" had been canceled. In addition to showing "solidarity" with Ukraine, it said, "The group strongly condemns this war."

Date of Announcement: 22 March 2022

Our Moral Verdict

Saint-Gobain is a Confused Humanitarian, in this case on behalf of Russian employees and families, citing social responsibility in its company policies as the reason it would continue production in Russia. Social responsibility needs to extend to the impact you have on society at large and not just employees. The use of the words "as a minimum" to describe ongoing production is vague. It also threw in a Red Herring about not making future investments.

Continuing some level of production, regardless of the excuse, gets a low credit in Degree, which was brought up a bit for completely withdrawing from exports and imports. The company was also slow to do so little, following CRH and Holcim by nearly three weeks, for which it got a Chicken Penalty.

This too-little-too-late company at least condemned the war, which qualified it for Denouncer status, but the contrast between the poor action and strong words put it into the Big Talker category. We calculated its Exposure at only 1.3 which makes all of its efforts to explain itself even less understandable.

It operates numerous services to support the life sciences sector in Russia, from pharmaceutical sales, distribution, storage, consulting and running clinical trials in the country. Its Announcement stated it would "cease any new business initiatives in Russia", but that it would be "continuing distribution of pharmaceutical products" where it will provide "limited" logistical support. It will continue with its 60 clinical trials in Russia. It believes not following this policy would likely "amount to punitive action against the most vulnerable". It said, "hopes are that there will be a speedy resolution to the conflict with minimal loss of life", and as of 9 March, committed more than $600,000 through grant donations.

Date of Announcement: 9 March 2022

Our Moral Verdict

It is difficult to assess how much AmerisourceBergen has really pulled out of Russia. Most of its vast range of Activities have been included in the decision for some action, but they have made many exceptions. The big picture impression is the company is trying to draw a line under existing business (such as distributing pharmaceuticals, and ongoing clinical trials in the country). The company doesn't seem to be taking on new clients and or any new projects for existing clients (with the exception of pharmaceuticals distribution on which the wording keeps that option open). Therefore, we consider the Announcement Full in Breadth of Activities and very Incomplete and vague in Depth, assessing the withdrawal at 25%, or 2.5 points for Degree. Unsurprisingly, like many in the pharma sector, the company justified its ongoing business like a Confused Humanitarian. We support exceptions for life-saving drugs subject to them not being available as generics or equivalent from local producers, and for clinical trials of life-saving drugs, but not in a blanket way as is used by many companies in the sector to cover pharma and anything related to health, nutrition and even food.

AmerisourceBergen gets credit for its fast action, but gets a weak Attitude score because its statement about the war was a Mealy-Mouther and its donation was a tiny portion of its profits. Companies in this sector undoubtedly have difficult choices to make, but we expect each to make a clear statement that it withdraws from all Activities as a default position and then disclose and justify any exceptions in a specific way. Being a business with a humanitarian angle isn’t a carte blanche for doing whatever you want.

Notice

The entire website and our rating methodology are based on a company’s involvement with Russia being measured by Announcements.

We measure this against the ways a company can be involved with Russia through its Activities.

Please also be aware of the Scope of our research, limitations due to Incomplete Information, our Rating Methodology , and our policy relating to any Errors, Omissions & Corrections.

Also, be aware that brands carry the rating information of the company that owns, controls or is associated with them as defined more precisely in Brands Displayed.

The basis of “Rating as of” date is explained here.

Want to give us information on a company?

We will be extending our service from the top 200 companies in the world to the top 500. We are interested in information about their continuing involvement with or in Russia from reliable published sources.

Want to suggest a correction to your company?

If you represent a corporation and feel it is inaccurately or otherwise unfairly presented, you should email us in the window below a scan of a document signed by a director of the ultimate parent company (“Parent”) we listed on the site, stating your position about our information as of the ‘Rating as of’ date listed below our information providing a clear factual statement in support of your disagreement in such a manner and in sufficient detail that we will be able to re-rate the company in accordance with our Rating Methodology. If you do not provide sufficient detail, we will not consider re-rating and do not have time to engage in discussions but will solely consider sufficiently comprehensive information via this process.
