International Giving, Disasters, and Humanitarian Relief: Lessons from Ukraine

This panel of corporate reps will respond to questions including 1) what process did the company use to determine their response; 2) how was internal collaboration facilitated (e.g., how did business decisions like whether to end business in Russia align with the humanitarian response for Ukrainians); and 3) were other stakeholders (employees, customers, vendors, etc.) engaged? If yes, how? Panelist remarks will also hindsight what worked well and key challenges.
