In a letter to campaign group B4Ukraine, dated 11 July 2023 and published by the BBC on Sunday, Chief Business Operations and Supply Chain Officer Reginaldo Ecclissato notes the Russian law requiring firms to “permit the conscription of employees should they be called,” and says Unilever will “always comply with all the laws of the countries we operate in.”

..."The letter is a response to a series of questions from the B4Ukraine Coalition, which urged Unilever to immediately cease all operations in Russia and exit the market. It asked for comment on whether the company had received requests for employees to be conscripted and how it would respond to these, among other questions.
Ecclissato said Unilever runs its Russia business “in alignment with our global principles including the safety and wellbeing of our employees.” He did not respond to B4Ukraine’s question about whether any employees had been conscripted or contacted about conscription.
A Unilever spokesperson told the BBC that any employee who was called up would not continue to be paid by the company."
