Stellantis donates €1-M for Ukraine relief

MANILA: Multi-brand auto conglomerate Stellantis NV has pledged €1 million in humanitarian relief to the Ukrainian refugees and citizens displaced by the present crisis. Stellantis will depend on a local NGO to assist Ukrainians in utilizing this fund, with the help of Stellantis' head of operations in Ukraine.

In a statement, Stellantis Chief Executive Officer Carlos Tavares said, “Stellantis condemns violence and aggression and, in this time of unprecedented pain, our priority is the health and safety of our Ukrainian employees and families. An aggression that shook a world order, already unsettled by uncertainty, has been launched. The Stellantis community, made of 170 nationalities, looks with dismay as civilians flee the country. Even if the scale of casualties is not yet apparent, the human toll will be unbearable.”

Stellantis employs 71 people in Ukraine, and the company set up a dedicated support team to monitor their health and safety 24/7. According to Stellantis, they are all safe at the time.
