Continued Operations in Russia
-54.49

Lactalis American Group, operating as part of Groupe Lactalis, continues its business operations in Russia despite geopolitical tensions due to the Ukraine conflict.

Economic Collaboration

March 18

By choosing to maintain its business operations in Russia, Lactalis American Group is indirectly supporting the economic infrastructure of an authoritarian regime. This action, justified by the company as a means to feed local populations, may also contribute to the prolongation of oppressive governance, thereby raising concerns among those opposed to economic collaboration with authoritarian states.
