GE CitizenshipCountries of Concern
GE favors an open trading system of equals, but we have taken decisions not to do business in certain countries because of the reputational and business risks involved. In 2008, GE decided not to do business with countries designated as State Sponsors of Terrorism by the U.S. Department of State (Cuba, Iran, Sudan, and Syria.) The company will not accept business in these countries except activity that is authorized by the U.S. Government for humanitarian or public policy purposes. In 2008, GE businesses completed their obligations related to SST country sales, other than those authorized by U.S. Government license. In addition, since 1996, GE has not accepted business in Myanmar (Burma). GE continues evaluate the countries in which we do business on an ongoing basis.
