Liene

Having relocated from Latvia to Lithuania 10 years ago, the HR specialist Liene never thought that one of her tasks would be... to become the face of Ignitis Group. And yet, that’s precisely the role she signed up to. And that’s far from the only bold move she’s made throughout her career!

Transitioning to Green Energy 
After gaining some professional experience by working for international companies, Liene took an interest in green energy and joined the then-relatively-small team of Ignitis Renewables. “I got into ESG and soon began looking for work in this field. I learned about the job vacancy from a good friend who’d been working in the Group for years at that point. I knew nothing about the energy sector and had never worked at a Lithuanian company, so I had no idea what to expect. But today I’m totally convinced that it was the right decision”.

Championing Sustainability Initiatives 
Liene is promoting the company’s sustainability culture through numerous initiatives, such as reducing car travel to reduce its carbon footprint. When working on this, as well as on many other projects and events, she often invites her colleagues to join in, thereby speeding up the achievement of the Group’s sustainability goals. What inspires Liene the most is the opportunity she has to enhance the organisation’s international character. As an HR expert, she’s responsible for onboarding new colleagues and introducing them to all available benefits and initiatives. In her view, it shouldn’t matter what country an Ignitis Renewable employee lives in, he or she should be able to enjoy the same positive experience.
