Russia: Denmark-based Rockwool says that it is entirely out of contact with its Russian business, under on-going EU trade sanctions against the country. As such, the group now views its relationship to its Russian plants merely as an ownership of shares.
EnergiWatch has reported that Saint-Gobain has described a similar situation in relation to its operations in the sanctioned nation. The France-based producer said "The Russian part of our business has lived a self-governing and strangled existence since the start of the invasion. This happened to secure jobs for our employees." It added "We have stopped all investment projects."
