Positive Actions for a Stronger Community
At Grant Thornton, we’re always aware of the impact our business activities could have on the wider community. With that in mind, we want whatever we’re doing to have only positive effects for our people, our clients and suppliers, our environment and our community.
We believe being a good business is about more than just a strong reputation in the business world, it’s about having the respect of the public. This is why we give our community and environmental performances equal importance to that of our financial and business ones.
We encourage our people to contribute to actions that lead to sustainable development, supporting local communities and groups in need.
Across Grant Thornton Baltic we are actively involved in the following areas:
- EXTREME SITUATIONS - when the war in Ukraine began, our team responded actively - providing personal support to non‑governmental organisations and welcoming refugees arriving in Lithuania.
- INITIATIVES - as a company, Grant Thornton Baltic supported organisations such as "Blue & Yellow", "Raudonasis kryžius", "Stiprūs kartu", and "Maži bet stiprūs". We also contributed to the Ukrainian Government’s humanitarian aid fund, and joined the Rotary Club initiative to support Ukraine. Additionally, we supported the "4 procentai“ initiative advocating for increased defence funding in Lithuania. We took part in the Save the Children Solidarity Challenge, where the steps walked by participants were converted into financial support for children.
- EDUCATION - we help communities and individuals grow, develop, and unlock their potential. Our people contribute to the development and success of young individuals by sharing their skills and experience.
- ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY - we promote environmental awareness throughout the firm and train our people accordingly. We have shown ongoing commitment to controlling our consumption of water and energy and our waste production in the office.
- COLLABORATING WITH CHARITIES AND NGOs - we support the Maltese Relief Service in Lithuania, the ‘Išsipildymo akcija’ charity project, and the Paparčiai St. Joseph child care home.
- SUPPORTING SPORTS, CULTURE & COMMUNITY INITIATIVES - we support sports and cultural events, charity organisations, and other non‑profit initiatives.
