As the invasion of Ukraine continues, The Conference Board is
providing insights on what the latest developments mean for business and
society. See below for our latest analysis and commentary:
The Logistics Crisis That’s About
to Unfold in Europe Just before the invasion of Ukraine, Euro-area manufacturers
were starting to see the end of pandemic-related disruptions. Global supply chain
pressures were starting to ease as delivery times for manufactured goods were
starting to improve. However, as detailed in an analysis by Klaas de Vries,
Economist at the ESF Center, it is now likely that the crisis in Ukraine will
lead to a new peak length in delivery times—consequences of the logistics
crisis that’s about to unfold in Europe. Supporting Your Affected Employees:
Crisis Management in Action What steps are companies taking to help their employees leave
Ukraine? How are they offering financial and logistical support and providing
other accommodations? In this podcast, Anne Stevens, Council Director for our
Global CHRO, HR Executives, and Global Business Women Leaders Councils,
shares what CHROs from leading multinational organizations are doing to
support affected employees. The conversation is moderated by Sara Murray,
Managing Director, International. The Escalation of Sanctions: Is
Russia’s Energy Sector Next? Unity among the US, its allies, and partners has resulted in
strong sanctions that are inflicting instant damage on the Russian economy.
As detailed in a policy brief by the Committee for Economic Development, the
public policy center of The Conference Board (CED), one of the issues that is
front and center on the US agenda is whether to escalate the sanctions
further to include direct sanctions on Russia’s energy sector. While cutting
off Russia’s energy sector might seem like an obvious next step on the
sanctions escalation ladder, the challenge is calibrating a sanctions policy that
economically hurts Russia more than the West. Upcoming Webcast: The Global
