One-third of companies have introduced remote work opportunities for employees, given the new threats. However, it should be noted that more than half of EBA members have had the remote regime available since the beginning of the pandemic, so this is not a fundamentally new solution. Only 3%<\/strong> of CEOs reported leaving Ukraine, and another 11%<\/strong> reported the departure of their families, but some did so at the request of company headquarters.<\/span><\/p>\n\t The EBA offices in Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Dnipro, and Kharkiv also continue to operate as usual.<\/span><\/p>\n We will recall that earlier the Association\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0on intentions of business to remain in Ukraine even if an escalation or full-scale military invasion happen. We are pleased to state that over the past month the sentiments and plans of company executives have not fundamentally changed. Continuing \u201cbusiness as usual\u201d is crucial for economic and social stability in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/eba.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Anna_2020.png\")

The responsible business has always been an active participant in important moments for the country, it takes care of employees and their families, supports the army and society. The business community believes in Ukraine! So, we hope that the state will also show its support by preventing pressure on transparent business.\n\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n
