Since the end of November 2024, numerous publications, videos and animated films have appeared in the media and on social media containing false accusations about Globino's cooperation with Russian businesses and alleged searches of the company's facilities by the SBU. These materials are actively distributed using commercial tools and contain calls for a boycott of the company's products.
‘Globino categorically denies these allegations. In particular, the company states that it does not use Amiflex T-3 Print sausage casing in its operations and does not cooperate with the Latvian company SIA DCL, which, according to some sources, may be involved in the supply of Russian products. The company is ready to provide evidence of the absence of such purchases to all interested parties.
It is worth noting that Globino has been cooperating with DTS Trading House LLC since 2015, purchasing polyamide sausage casings from them, which are made in Poland and Bulgaria. Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the company has stopped purchasing Belarusian products and does not use Russian materials in its production.
Information about the SBU's searches of Globino's facilities is also untrue. The company received a ruling from the SBU on temporary access to documents, to which it responded that it had not purchased SIA DCL products and was not using them in its production.
‘Globino complies with all legal regulations and ethical standards of doing business. The company is a member of the White Business Club and paid over UAH one billion in taxes to the Ukrainian budget in 2023. The company employs about 4,200 people, of whom 297 have joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine. ‘Globino constantly provides financial and material assistance to the Ukrainian military and supports those affected by the war.
Unfounded accusations against Globino not only damage the company's reputation, but also contradict Ukraine's national interests. At a time when the country is confronting external aggression, it is important to support domestic producers who make a significant contribution to the development of the economy and strengthening the country's defence capabilities.
Attempts to undermine the reputation of companies that remain loyal to Ukrainian principles can have serious consequences for the business environment in Ukraine. This not only harms specific businesses, but also undermines the trust of consumers and international partners.
The information attack on Globino is yet another reminder of the importance of critical thinking and verification of information. It also underscores the need to support domestic producers, as it is enterprises such as Globino that help the country maintain economic stability and moral fortitude. Every Ukrainian, by purchasing domestically produced products, contributes to the strengthening of the country's economy and, therefore, to our common victory.
The Association of Ukrainian Pig Breeders has also expressed its support for Globino. In a statement released yesterday, the Association called the media attack on the company an example of unfair competition that not only harms one of the largest national producers but also threatens the country's food security. The organisation called on law enforcement agencies to investigate the actions of those who ordered and executed the attacks, and stressed Globino's significant contribution to supporting the economy and the Armed Forces.
