MISSION AND VALUES
MISSION AND VALUES
The mission of ABBA is to support, protect, and develop businesses founded by Belarusians abroad.
WHAT IS ABBA
WHAT IS ABBA
ABBA is an international network and a unique nationally-oriented business association that brings together businesses with Belarusian roots around the world.
We operate at the intersection of a business association, a national chamber of commerce, and a human rights organization focused on the rights of entrepreneurs.
ABBA unites entrepreneurs who consciously identify themselves as part of the global Belarusian business community.
We build our collaboration not based on industry sectors or company size, but on shared national identity and common values — business ethics, responsibility, mutual respect, and respect for the countries of residence and their laws.
Today, ABBA is registered both as a foundation and as an association. Both entities are registered in Poland and operate in accordance with the laws of Poland and the European Union.

HOW WE WORK
HOW WE WORK
ABBA operates as an international platform connecting businesses, partners, and institutions.
A key element of our work is our proprietary business verification system, covering companies, their founders, and beneficial owners.
All entrepreneurs and companies we work with:
• Agree to our Code of Business Ethics
• Are informed about legal responsibility and compliance obligations
• Undergo verification to ensure no affiliation with state or political structures of Belarus or Russia
This approach allows us to build a trusted environment and ensure for our community and partners that we work exclusively with ethical, independent, and responsible businesses.
Currently, ABBA operates outside Belarus and builds cooperation with international partners, institutions, and business communities exclusively in democratic countries.
Under current conditions, we focus on the quality of engagement, trust, and tangible results rather than on scale or rapid growth in membership numbers.
At the same time, we are building the conditions, environment, and ecosystem for significant scaling of our member base and network once the existing risks for Belarusian businesses — both abroad and within Belarus — are mitigated (primarily internal and geopolitical risks).
