It's from 2022 as well
Usually people have some sort of reasoning behind saying a statement like this. Care enough to elaborate?
It shows Apple on there but when you go to alphabetical list you see Apple has suspended operations. We know McDonald’s sold their assets at the start of the war but it’s there on the image. In an age where most people don’t read past headlines why not include the actual companies still operating in Russia?
Probably because a databased list is easier to update than a graphic
The title OP gave the post makes it seem like the companies in the image are still doing business in Russia but I’m pretty sure all the companies in the image are the ones who left. There’s a few comments that are confused about it.
I doubt it was intentional or malicious but it is misleading at a glance.
Just don't go by the image, it's either not representative at all or outdated. My employer (Deutsche Telekom, the mother company of T-Mobile) is on that list an I know for a fact that operations in Russia were stopped immediately after the invasion. I know this because we had some IT folks there who suddenly weren't active anymore which caused some issues and delayed updates.
My employer then made an effort to get out folks there to either Germany or Turkey if they wanted to leave Russia which many of them did.
My employer is in the graphic, but they immediately stopped all business in Russia after the invasion and even helped get former employees and their families out. They gave the employees they had to let go a 12 month severance package.
Same for a Danish company I recognize
I’ve noticed plenty that withdrew in the first weeks of the war. This graphic is false and misleading.
Many of those are in the health care sector. I get condemning supplying the government with materials or otherwise helping the war effort, but surely the millions of Russian civilians who DON'T even condone the war, let alone bear any of the blame for it, shouldn't be deprived of all medical care and their medicine?
Because that would be punishing innocent people for living in the same country as a genocidal dictator..by encouraging genocide against those innocent people.
That graphic is wildly misleading.
Major corporations and global companies no longer really care about nation states or nationalities any more. All they care about is making money and they don't follow any ethics when it comes to that.
If you push them in one way or another ... they just shift responsibility, change a name, change a direction, change a shell company and move stuff around, tell everyone they've changed and continue with business as usual in whatever way they please.
They can circumvent any national law for and from one country to another ... they can do one thing in one country that can't be done in another and vice versa and if they get stuck, they just call up international law litigate and get business done anyway.
It's getting to the point where nations no longer matter much any more ... it's the corporations that have all the power and control.
and yet we still have people happy to provide these parasites with cash transfers from the state budget and or tax rebates...
Intel spend billions of dollars buying back shares German and american tax payer spend similar amount in transfers and rebates. Fake news claim this is a win for a working clown barely breaking on rent and food.
I know everyone's been asking (or was it no one?), so I made a list of the companies that show up in the graphic multiple times.
Two appearances:
-
Alphabet
-
Alstom
-
Deloitte
-
Grammarly
Three appearances:
-
Amway
-
Upwork
And there is one company that shows up in this graphic four times. First person to guess it will get four randomly selected emojis sent free to their inbox.
I see Bank of China in three places 🤔
Yeah, I didn't know what that logo was, so I was hoping that by omitting it, someone would notice and tell me.
Here's your reward: 🌬🦝🎨
Their reward is to blow a raccoon while painting? 🤨
Depressing, but not surprising.
Very disappointed to see my employer on here with a D rating. Internal comms said we were out!
I'm co-mod for the zine Sponsors Of Russian Invasion where we name, shame, & discuss non-violent & democratic actions against such companies.
We also have a sister zine Biz Against Russian Invasion to name companies that chose to exit Russia rather than support its illegal invasion & occupation.
Selling my Mazda, deleting my league account, burning my Lacoste clothes, and not using any online service that uses cloudflare

Honestly this is interesting but realistically what do you do with this info?
Nothing matters to them, not even human life.
Never did. We're just living in the ‘find out’ era, luckily for the people responsible; they were right... Most of them died before they could see the problems they were creating.
Until the good decide to drop the moral high ground and get ugly, the greedy will continue to crush humanity under the epic weight of their cruelty and indifference.
"mildly infuriating"?
I was a bit surprised by a couple, but the Chinese ones? Not so much.
The Consumer Discretionary ones are icky, but if I were the Intelligence Community, I’d want things like Cloudflare and Iridium to keep on chuggin’.
Here’s a link to the company list provided in the story,..
