    Finland-based finance software maker Sievo has launched Procure4Peace.org. The charity’s mission is to provide information and guidance on how to ensure the maximum impact to support organizations with supply chains in Ukraine.

    “We at Sievo condemn the actions of Putin’s administration and want to exhibit our support and empathy towards everybody whose life or health is in risk,” he said.
