describes LESTO’s 2015 programs and achievements in its pursuit of social
responsibility objectives 

According to Liudas Liutkevičius, the CEO of ESO, the Company contributes to a
more sustainable society primarily by doing what it is best at – ensuring a
reliable supply and distribution of electric energy. Furthermore, it is an
active participant in public education campaigns emphasizing issues of safe and
rational use of energy resources. 

‘We are delighted to see that last year our efforts were publically recognized
when LESTO received a number of awards – including the 'Sustainable school'
project that we implemented together with the Lithuanian Children and Youth
Centre. This project promoted reducing carbon footprint, and was selected at
the Swedish business award contest as the best social responsibility initiative
of the year. LESTO also received awards for progress in improving our investor
relations and was ranked third in the best annual and the corporate governance
reports' categories, and the best in interactive investor relations. 

‘This recognition inspires us for further improvement, as we believe that in
2016, after we have introduced ourselves as ESO, the society will realise our
efforts  even more and the benefit we create', says the CEO of ESO. 

During 2015, many of company’s employees became active participants in a range
of our social responsibility activities: as lecturers on energy efficiency and
the safe use of electricity they participated in a variety of events for
communities and schoolchildren. ESO expanded association with libraries, which
has become an extremely important channel to reach the residents of small towns
and villages, and participate in their education by teaching them how to use
the internet, and thus feel more comfortable in ordering daily services.
