Girteka Group, a leading provider of responsible logistics and sustainable transport, announces the extension of its partnership with the Lithuanian Paralympic Committee. After two years of collaboration leading up to the 2024 Paralympic Games, Girteka remains committed to promoting inclusivity through sports and emphasizing teamwork – values that are central to both athletics and business success.

Support for sports clubs for people with disabilities

Under the renewed partnership, Girteka will continue to support the Lithuanian Paralympic Committee in its efforts to expand athletic opportunities for individuals with disabilities. For the second consecutive year, the Paralympic Team, with Girteka’s support, will organize activities that bring people with disabilities closer to adaptive sports while raising awareness about its benefits.

“Cooperation with Girteka has opened new doors for us,” said Mindaugas Bilius, President of the Lithuanian Paralympic Committee. “Their support enables us to share Paralympic achievements and encourage more people with disabilities to discover the positive impact of sports. We plan to build on these efforts with additional initiatives that show disability is not a barrier to success.”

Team spirit at the core

The theme “Behind Every Achievement, There’s a Team” continues to guide this partnership. Paralympic athletes rely on coaches, teammates, and community support to excel – just as Girteka’s work in responsible logistics depends on collaboration across departments, from digitalization teams driving innovation to drivers implementing eco-friendly practices on the road.

“Teamwork is vital,” noted Povilas Vinzanovas, Chief Marketing Officer at Girteka Group. “Like Paralympians and their support networks, we depend on our colleagues to work toward common goals. From improving driver conditions to fostering professional development, we strive for excellence in every area, supporting each team member.”

Inclusive physical education seminars

The Lithuanian Paralympic Committee will also focus in 2025 on inclusive physical education seminars for educators, teacher assistants, kindergarten teachers, and other education professionals. Led by committee representatives and sports specialists, these sessions combine theoretical and practical approaches to help participants integrate children with special needs into physical activities. Seminars have already drawn dozens – and sometimes hundreds – of participants seeking strategies for inclusive programs.

Educational initiatives for future generations

Looking to 2025, Girteka and the Lithuanian Paralympic Committee plan to create more opportunities for children and teenagers with disabilities to engage in sports. Planned initiatives include:

• School lectures and workshops: Practical guidance on adaptive exercises, helping young people build confidence and enjoy physical activity.
• Equipment donation campaigns: Continuing to collect and distribute sports equipment to bridge access gaps and nurture emerging talent.
• Community outreach: Promoting inclusivity and team spirit through collaboration between Paralympians and Girteka employees, illustrating the importance of collective support in facing challenges.

A Responsible company committed to community

As a leader in responsible logistics, Girteka focuses on sustainability, digitalization, and social responsibility. From innovative transport solutions and safer working conditions for drivers to reduced emissions, the company’s approach reflects its commitment to communities and stakeholders.

By supporting the Lithuanian Paralympic Committee, Girteka underlines its dedication to inclusivity and reaffirms its belief that genuine progress depends on teamwork – every achievement, whether in sports or business, is powered by a united effort.
