Business consultancy Accenture has announced that it is to discontinue its business in Russia following the invasion led by President Vladimir Putin of its neighboring country Ukraine.
Almost 2,300 members of staff are employed in Russia, including its marketing services division Accenture Interactive where it has worked with Unilever, Avianca and Radisson Hotels. The company does not have business in Ukraine however, but it has said it “stands with the people” of the country regardless.
In announcing the closure, the company has said it will be “providing support” to its Russian staff as well as Ukrainian staff around the world.
