More than 40 companies, including giants such as Amazon, pledged at a summit in Paris to hire tens of thousands of refugees across Europe, as the war in Ukraine triggered the biggest refugee crisis since World War II.
The promises of employment and training over the next three years, announced by 41 large companies, will contribute to a direct impact on 250,000 refugees. While this is expected to generate more than two billion euros of income each year, it is certain that these companies will employ 13,680 refugees, including 5,000 who will be employed by Amazon over three years, 1,500 each at the Hilton and Marriott hotel chains and 500 at the French multinational company Tele performance. In addition, three recruitment companies have pledged to create jobs for 152,000 refugees.
