Description

Russia's invasion has led to unprecedented levels of humanitarian support from big business. Leaders from the political and business world gathered in Davos, Switzerland in late May for the annual World Economic Forum, where the war in Ukraine topped the agenda. Since the start of the Russian invasion, companies have donated more than $1.4 billion in cash to support the humanitarian response, in addition to many other forms of assistance. In this special episode, host Heba Aly explores whether the crisis in Ukraine is a game-changer for private sector engagement in humanitarianism. Guests: Valerie Beaulieu, Adecco; Kareem Elbayar, Connecting Business Initiative.
