Yukon Group takes its social responsibility seriously and supports initiatives that deliver real, measurable value to the communities where we operate. When the Covid-19 pandemic hit in 2020, we focused on helping frontline medical teams respond to an unprecedented crisis.

We supported the nationwide “Hold on, Medics” initiative and provided assistance to hospitals across Lithuania and Latvia. Launched by prominent public figure Andrius Tapinas, the campaign mobilised urgent funding at a time when hospitals faced severe shortages of basic protective supplies, including masks and gloves. Yukon Group became the largest sponsor, contributing €300,000 to help protect both medical staff and patients.

In Lithuania, we also invested in strengthening emergency response capabilities. We funded medical equipment for healthcare institutions in Vilnius and Kaunas, including the largest contribution towards the Baltic states’ first mass-casualty logistics and ambulance vehicle for the Kaunas City Ambulance Station (GMP). Designed for large-scale incidents, it supports the coordination of emergency services and enables assistance to up to 50 people at once.

Our efforts have been recognised publicly. In December 2021, Yukon Group received the Lithuanian Business Confederation’s “Small Award of Socially Responsible Business 2020”.

Support during the pandemic extended beyond Lithuania as well. Pulsar Optics (Latvia) donated 41 functional hospital beds to Daugavpils Regional Hospital, helping increase capacity during peak demand. In Belarus, we financed two ambulances and a PCR laboratory to strengthen the country’s ability to respond to Covid-19.

For Yukon Group, corporate social responsibility is not a one-off activity—it is a long-term commitment. Each year, we dedicate a meaningful share of our profit to addressing urgent needs, and we step in quickly when our communities need support most.
