Russia/Belarus Colliers ends operations in Russia, Belarus

Corporate social responsibility
In response to the gravity of Russia’s aggression, Colliers has discontinued its business in Russia and Belarus, effective immediately, after more than 28 years of operations.

Colliers strongly condemns the invasion by the Russian military and fully supports all appropriate sanctions enacted by the international community.

I am appalled and saddened by the unnecessary loss of life and the displacement of millions of Ukrainians from their home. We cannot and will not stand idly by. Our decision to exit Russia and Belarus is one we make with conviction.
Jay Hennick, the global chairman and CEO of Colliers

Colliers continues to prioritise the safety and welfare of employees and clients in Ukraine, as well as in the wider CEE region. As a result of this crisis, Colliers' affiliate office in Kyiv has closed and all business operations there have been suspended. Colliers is focused on supporting Ukrainian colleagues who remain in the country, those who are seeking refuge, and the families of employees who have been affected. Operations in neighbouring countries are actively providing temporary accommodation, monetary support and other necessities.

The company and members of senior leadership have made significant donations to the Ukraine Crisis Appeal via the International Committee of the Red Cross and other humanitarian charities. Colliers is also matching donations from our people through the Colliers Crisis Fund to maximise support towards humanitarian relief.
