Consumer goods giant Unilever has confirmed it will comply with legislation that could see its employees in Russia conscripted into the war in Ukraine.
It has around 3,000 employees in Russia, working across four manufacturing sites and one head office.
Ecclissato said in the letter that Unilever has faced three options for its Russia operations.
One was closing all Russia operations, after which he said Unilever's business and brands in the country would be "appropriated — and then operated — by the Russian state."
The third, which Unilever has adopted, was continuing to run the business with constraints that have been in place since March.
