Social and sustainability initiatives
At VU Business School, we firmly believe that together we can do more. Even small initiatives that are socially responsible and sustainable can have a strong positive impact on our environment.
The VU Business School community cares (#SharingisCaring), so every year we contribute to various initiatives, some of which are:
|
Initiative together with the Public Institution "I Love the Forest" |
 |
|
Christmas mission The pandemic year was particularly difficult and affected people who were struggling even more. After hearing requests for help from several organizations, during the holiday season we collected food and other items for the VA Caritas Social Assistance and Integration Center "Betanija" and the Public Institution "Atsigrežk į vaikus". |

|
Support with books The VU Business School community has repeatedly collected books to decorate a sustainable Christmas tree, and later donated the books to libraries of students from smaller towns (one of them is the Plungė Public Library) and to the Kaunas Remand Prison. |
|
|
Support for students The VU Business School community contributes to social initiatives that help students prepare for the school year not only with school supplies, but also with health baskets or by contributing to the provision of emotional support. More about the projects: https://vaikusvajones.lt/, https://sos-vaikukaimai.lt/ , www.maltieciai.lt, www.jaunimolinija.lt etc. |

Entrepreneurship Academy Every year, members and friends of the VU Business School community contribute to the entrepreneurship education of children from socially sensitive families and donate tickets to them to participate in the "Entrepreneurship Academy".

Sustainability initiatives

Initiative with Lidl Lithuania While monitoring community members' consumption, waste sorting habits, and the amount of packaging collected, it was noticed that people do not pick up deposit packaging, but leave it next to the sorting containers. In order for the deposit containers not to end up in plastic containers, but to become a part of the Sharing is Caring mission of kindness, VU VM has joined the sustainable initiative of Lidl Lietuva. The deposit containers collected by VU VM will go to the nearest Lidl store recycling stations. The funds collected will be allocated to children's daycare centers. We invite you to leave your deposit container in a specially marked place when visiting the VU VM and thus make a socially responsible decision - not only to protect nature, but also to take care of those who need help the most. |

Zero waste At VU Business School, we strive to choose sustainable solutions. For this reason, you will find sorting containers, recycled paper, a quiet room for relaxation and emotional well-being, etc. |
