    From the link:

    So 1386+ are doing business as usual, 1955+ are not. That is a majority who changed their business approach with Russia.

    The details & filters on the website are impressive and grant a way better insight than the overall numbers.

    E.g. to exclude Chinese companies who stay, because why would they leave? Or exclude agricultural/food industries, as no one sanctions those to avoid famine. Or companies from dozens other countries who never implemented any sanctions against Russia, so of course companies from those countries are still in Russia. Or from the UK: BBC “Stay - Continue Operations”, “Temporarily stopped work in Russia and decided to operate outside the Russian Federation but on March 8, 2022 resumed reporting from Russia” which is good to have them in Russia and report about Russia to oppose state media (mis-)information.

    But that is why the website is so good. It has filters for everything, so it also shows companies in their lists that shouldn’t be doing business any more. Or they publicly promised to leave but didn’t - which is also noted in the lists.

    Just the overall amount(s) isn’t a very good benchmark here. It’s about the details.
