[47] Mango decided to take several initiatives, as a response to the geopolitical situation. They included: providing support and aid to Ukrainian and Russian employees, offering financial support to employees who stayed in the country, and providing mentoring through local teams to all employees and their family members who have relocated out of the country. [47] Mango declared a temporary cessation of operations in Russia at the beginning of March. [48] The company closed all 55 of its stores, made unavailable its online sales platform in Russia, and ceased the shipment of new merchandise to the region. [47]
Despite temporarily halting its direct operations in Russia, the 65 franchisees that were considered “the key partners” [47] for Mango - and the marketplaces were still allowed to continue their operations and distribute Mango products, provided that they had sufficient stock available. 53 franchise outlets received by the Catalan brand continued operating in Russia [49] and selling the company’s parent product line.

[55] To respond to this controversy, Violeta Andic, responsible for this line, made the following statements to the newspaper Expansión “Violeta was not born as a large-size brand, but as a brand that makes a different pattern, aimed at women with curves.
