Summary

At Netlify, we stand with Ukraine. We are aghast at Russia’s invasion and have ceased doing business with Russia-owned companies. As web leaders, we have a responsibility to stand up against Russia’s current attack on the rules-based world order. While Netlify does not have direct employees in Ukraine, we have team members around the world who are personally and deeply impacted by the senseless violence from Russia. We are supporting our team members impacted in any way we can, including holding a donation matching drive with our team and community to help humanitarian groups support the people being impacted in Ukraine. We will no longer do business with Russian-owned companies, as we feel we must take a stand against the Russian government’s violence on Ukrainian people and censorship of Russian people. We believe that all people, no matter where they are in the world, should have access to the internet. Our vision at Netlify is to build a better web that remains accessible and available, open, independent, and viable for global communication. We are also supporting the work of OONI.org, a global non-profit free software project called the Open Observatory of Network Interference, to ensure a free and open internet.
