Yale University professor Jeff Sonnenfeld and his team investigated large companies that are still working in Russia despite their promise to leave the market.
Among them were such well-known companies as the Dutch beer giant Heineken, the British company Unilever (Dove soap, Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, Lipton tea, Cornetto ice cream), the American manufacturer of cookies and chocolate Mondelez (Oreo, Triscuit crackers, Nabisco snacks), Nestle (Kit Kat, Nescafe coffee, Purina), co-working giant WeWork, American tobacco company Philip Morris, American pizzeria chain Sbarro, and American restaurant chains Carl’s Jr and TGI Fridays.
“These companies have broken their promises. They act like speculators in wartime. It’s not just disappointing. It’s shameful and unethical,” Sonnenfeld commented on the situation.
