We are firmly committed to building a sustainable future. We build a harmonious and long-term relationship with our stakeholders. We align our business objectives with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and strive to minimize the environmental impact of our operations.
How we work with sustainability
At Ignitis Group, we aim to create a responsible and sustainably developing business culture in the energy sector. Our commitment and operations in accordance with the principles of the United Nations Global Compact as well as our contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals help us boost our activities. As the energy sector continues its rapid transformation, responsible business conduct is reflected in both our day-to-day operations and future plans.
How we set our priorities
Stakeholder engagement
Stakeholder involvement is crucial to ensure that the Group's activities are developed responsibly and coherently. By including social and environmental issues in our relations with stakeholders, we aim not only to contribute to building a sustainable society and preserving the environment for future generations, but also to encourage others to contribute. In carrying out our activities, we strive to take into account the interests of our stakeholders and make decisions that meet their best interests.
Managing stakeholder relations
The main ways we manage relations with each stakeholder group are described in the document below. For details of our actions to meet stakeholders' expectations for the Group's sustainability, please check the 2023 Sustainability Report.
Materiality assessment
In 2021, we involved a wide range of our stakeholders in determining our sustainability activities. We conducted a materiality assessment, during which we asked our customers, employees, partners and others how the Group could best contribute to environmental sustainability and societal issues. Nearly three thousand respondents shared their views with us. We invite you to read the full report here.
Considering stakeholders' expectations is an important part of shaping sustainability priorities. During strategic sessions, the Group's management discussed how the expressed views can be best embedded into, and served by, the Group's strategy. The matrix below illustrates the outcome of these discussions – the sustainability topics that are important to our Group, also showing how each topic reflects stakeholder opinions and our strategic priorities.
The full matrix systematizes the most relevant aspects of sustainability for the Group and provides a roadmap to help create the greatest positive impact for both the company and its stakeholders. We continue to develop sustainability goals and their implementation programs in priority areas.
We invite you to join our impact assessment!
Currently, Ignitis Group is carrying out a materiality assessment to identify the environmental, social and governance impacts of our activities. Through this assessment, we aim to determine and set our sustainability priorities both within our own operations, as well as disclosures we publish, as foreseen by the EU regulations. It is required to conduct a Double Materiality Assessment to comply with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
We have identified stakeholder representatives, which we invite to participate in this dialogue in June 2024, kindly asking them to rate our impacts based on their importance and/or suggest new ones that are relevant. Likewise, we are also conducting public opinion research and analysing other relevant information.
If you would like to participate in the assessment, or have any ideas you would like to share, please contact us at [email protected]. You can always use this e-mail to contact us, if you would like to address any questions regarding the Group's environmental, social and governance impacts and their management.
The results of our materiality assessment will be published on this website, as well as in our annual report.
