The Association of Belarusian Business Abroad (ABBA) firmly adheres to a principled position regarding cooperation with the regimes of Belarus and Russia. Our key principles and values:

• We publicly support the sanctions policy against the Lukashenko regime, which is an integral part of the struggle for democratic values.

• ABBA fundamentally opposes cooperation with companies that continue to do business in the aggressor country during wartime.

• We consider support for businesses cooperating with the regime unacceptable, as this contradicts the policies of democratic countries and undermines the efforts of the Belarusian democratic community.

• During the period of increased repression against citizens and business representatives in Belarus, as well as during the aggressive war, any cooperation with regime structures is regarded by us as a betrayal of the interests of democratic Belarus.

• We commit to protecting the reputation of honest Belarusian business and continue to uphold the principles of transparency and democratic values in the international business environment.

ABBA remains dedicated to its mission of supporting independent Belarusian business and will continue to work towards developing a professional community based on democratic values and ethical business principles.
