Three years ago, after the Tokyo Paralympic Games, discus thrower Oksana Dobrovolskaja vowed to return to the Paralympics arena — and this week, she's doing just that! She acknowledges that she couldn't have done it without the support of her team, especially her coach. "Achieving the results I have, and those I have yet to achieve, would have been 'mission impossible' without my coach, who is always there. Everything that the words 'friend,' 'mother,' and 'coach' represent is embodied in the name Teresė Nekrošaitė," says Oksana. See more of Oksana's inspiring journey in a video below. We've been supporting Lithuanian team in their journey to the Games — now it's your turn to show your support!

What does it take to achieve victory beyond your own determination and dedication? According to Andrius Skuja, a Paralympic shot-put athlete, it's the unwavering support of your team, who stand by you through both the highs and the lows. Andrius’s coach, Deimantas Jusys, has been at his side for nearly a decade. “Throughout these years we’ve never had a serious argument. It’s great to work with someone who’d not only your friend, but also a part of your family. It’s wonderful to have someone who always supports, motivates and gives you a hand when things go wrong or do not turn as expected”, says Andrius. Support Andrius and other Lietuvos paralimpinis komitetas athletes as they compete for Lithuania this week at the Paralympic Games in Paris. Cheering them on and showing our support as one united team truly makes a difference. See more athlets' stories here: https://lnkd.in/dFEPS7Kf.

We're continuously enhancing our operations as part of our ongoing digital transformation to provide better service. As part of this effort, we've implemented a new, secure digital refueling solution across our entire fleet. This innovative system, based on the Fleethand solution, allows drivers to refuel seamlessly. Upon arriving at a designated partner gas station, such as Circle K or Shell, drivers can simply input the pump number into their Fleethand mobile app, and the refueling process starts automatically. This advancement reduces the risks associated with physical fuel cards, allowing drivers to spend less time on administrative tasks and more on delivering cargo efficiently and under optimal conditions. “As we continue to embrace new technologies, including mobile devices that integrate nearly all aspects of our operations, we are still investigating how those technologies can support us, reduce time or effort, or mitigate the risk of errors or mistakes. This refuelling feature is one of such a solution,” said Dariuš Olechnovič, Telematics Team Lead, Girteka Transport. The integration of advanced technologies enhances both logistics efficiency and the daily work experience for our drivers. These digital tools are designed to simplify routine tasks and increase security, enabling our drivers to focus on delivering exceptional service to our customers.

We believe in the power of the boomerang effect—that when we do good, it comes back to us in meaningful ways. That’s why we understand our responsibility to communities and have a Good Vibes program which allows our colleagues to take a paid day off, team up, and dedicate their time and energy to volunteer work that truly makes a difference – many colleagues are already involved. All kinds of volunteer activities are welcomed, whether it’s planting trees, helping at a local food bank or spending time at an animal shelter. For instance, this month our Business Compliance Team took their turn by volunteering at the "Lesė" animal shelter near Vilnius. They spent the day walking dogs, sharing moments of joy, and learning about the incredible work done by the shelter staff and other volunteers. What makes this effort special is how our team involved their families, turning it into a shared community experience that went beyond just a day of service. As a large company we have a responsibility to contribute positively to society, and we’re committed to leading by example. By actively engaging with our communities, we’re building stronger relationships and redefining what it means to be a responsible business in today’s world.

🌍 With the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions in transport, the challenges are clear - freight transport is a major source of pollution. To address this, the European Union has introduced the Greener Freight Transport Package, a plan designed to make freight transport more eco-friendly. This package includes steps like improving rail systems, encouraging low-emission vehicles, and standardizing how we measure emissions. What is it in practice? Read more in the latest edition of the Responsible Logistics Newsletter. 🚛🌱
