Sustainable business Policies Social initiatives

The environment in which we live and do business is important to us. We believe that sustainable interaction between business and society implemented through a range of social activities, creates positive change in the society of which we are a part.

ŽALVARIS encourages and supports environmental and social initiatives that respond in value to areas of impact which are directly linked to our chosen Sustainable Development Goals. We foster long-term partnerships with social partners and support organisations to build and grow the well-being of our country and society.

Growing talents
Partnership with BC "Žalgiris" 

Promoting youth development is one of our key long-term areas of support, therefore in 2025, we launched a long-term partnership with Kaunas “Žalgiris” Basketball Club to support the development of talents in “Žalgiris-2” team. By collaborating with “Žalgiris” organization, we are confident we can nurture responsible and motivated talents, while also contributing to a mature and sustainable society.

Support for Ukraine

On February 24, 2022, when the aggressor state launched a full-scale invasion of neighboring Ukraine, we—like the entire civilized world—were deeply shaken. However, we knew that we would stand united and continue to support, help, and stand with Ukraine and its people by all possible means. On February 28, ŽALVARIS, through the organization Blue / Yellow for Ukraine, provided EUR 25,000 in support for Ukraine. To this day, we continue to actively support various organizations engaged in charitable activities, with the same commitment as at the beginning of the war.

Care for emotional well-being

We support the emotional and psychological support organizations Child Helpline and Silver Line, which provide free and anonymous assistance by phone and online every day. These organizations help the most vulnerable members of society—children, adolescents, and seniors—cope with emotional challenges, reduce loneliness, strengthen psychological well-being, and feel heard and supported.

Team "Lituanica X"
Promotion of student robotics

ŽALVARIS seeks to encourage and support promising ideas, development, and growth of the younger generation. We provide support to a student robotics team that brings together students from ten different schools across the country and has been active since 2017. The students design and build robots, compete in international robotics tournaments, and promote the name of Lithuania through their skills and achievements. ŽALVARIS support is allocated to the purchase of technical robot components and to organizing the team’s travel to international competitions.

Employment of convicts
Social initiative

We are convinced that equal opportunities and the inclusion of different groups in society are important elements of a sustainable society. Since 2020, ŽALVARIS has been purposefully running a project on employment of convicts, which aims to integrate socially excluded people into the labour market. Working consistently with the prison, we have employed over 40 people, 6 of whom have been employed by the company since the beginning of this project.

"Holly Trash"
Social-environmental project 

The tandem of contemporary generation artists Rolandas Žigonis and Algis Kriščiūnas created 4 exclusive works with images of famous Lithuanian entertainers, decorated with waste found in nature. The idea of the paintings draws attention to pollution and climate change, makes people think and encourages them to change irresponsible consumer behaviour. ŽALVARIS is the patron of this project – we help the paintings and their idea to travel around Lithuania, exhibiting them in traditional and unexpected spaces.

"Mothers' Union"
Charity & Support Foundation

Mothers' Union, a Charity and Support Foundation in Lithuania, cares for children with oncological diseases. We have been supporting the Foundation's activities and their support initiatives since 2019. Our financial support has been used for the implementation of the social initiative Family Home, the organisation of awareness camps for parents who have lost children and other activities of this foundation.

Dakar Rally
Partnership with A. Juknevičius

We have a long-standing partnership with Antanas Juknevičius, a Dakar legend. The Dakar Rally is one of the biggest motorsport events of the year, where automotive waste is an integral part of the sport. The team of Antanas Juknevičius consists of particular flagships in rally environmental protection, and their similar values and approach to environmental protection have led to a decade-long, sustainable partnership.
