“It is an event of historical significance. It is one of the largest foreign investments in Ukraine in 2023. As Denmark’s ambassador, I am proud to be present on this occasion. This new production line has a symbolic importance that goes far beyond the beverage industry in Ukraine. It is a sign that a major global player and industry leader, Carlsberg, has faith in Ukraine and is ready to invest in Ukraine at a time when Ukraine’s epic struggle against Russian aggression is still ongoing.”said Ole Egberg Mikkelsen, Denmark’s Ambassador Extraordinary to Ukraine.
“This fits very well into the close Danish-Ukrainian partnership on a political level. Denmark is one of Ukraine’s closest partners. We cannot wait for peace to come. We have to start now, and we have to achieve concrete and tangible results. This is exactly what Carlsberg is doing here. Carlsberg is an icon of Denmark’s industrial development that has been known for its corporate social responsibility, long before that notion was invented. You have always been taking care of your employees and communities. Your activities in Ukraine are another example of this proud legacy.”reiterated the representative.
