We support Ukraine
We were humbled to pledge our continuing support to Ukraine by signing the Ukraine Business Compact 2023 at the Ukraine Recovery Conference that took place in London in June.
The conference brought together governments, business leaders, and civil society to collaboratively develop practical steps to help Ukraine rebuild as a resilient and agile economy. By signing this pledge, WW+P pledge to invest in the country and actively contribute to the recovery and reconstruction of a stronger and more prosperous Ukraine.
By signing this compact we commit to supporting the recovery and reconstruction of Ukraine by looking for opportunities, when the time is right, to engage in trade and investment, peer-to-peer expertise sharing, pro bono work and business activities including but not limited to:
1. Investing in business opportunities in Ukraine, participating where possible in reconstruction through direct financial contributions or investments into Ukrainian operations, and/or
2. Working with Ukraine-based companies, including to harness the country’s existing and future potential via trade, expertise sharing and partnerships, and/or
3. Supporting Ukraine-wide development and economic growth, where possible and in line with business objectives.
We will endeavour to support the recovery of Ukraine and assist in its forward development in a green, inclusive and responsible manner.
