We are now one month into the war in Ukraine. Sadly, the violence, destruction, and human suffering becomes more difficult to watch with each passing day. As a company, we continue to focus on ways we can help.
Today we announced that the HP Foundation will be making a $3 million grant directly to our Central Europe market, which will be distributed locally to support in-country humanitarian efforts with our NGO partners. This is on top of our previous grants to UNICEF, UNHCR and the Polish Red Cross [more info here], and we are continuing to match employee contributions to relief efforts.
The worst of times have a way of bringing out the best in HP's people. We are seeing this every day from employees across our markets -many of whom are taking refugees into their homes, distributing food and supplies, and volunteering in other ways to help neighbors in need.
We are grateful to call them all colleagues. And we will continue to be guided by our core values as we navigate the long and difficult road ahead.
