On January 30, 2025, Gurtam was recognized at the National Responsible Business Awards, organized by Lithuania's Ministry of Social Security and Labour. This distinguished event highlights corporate social responsibility and ethical business practices.
We are proud to have received four prestigious awards in 2024:
🥇 Socially Responsible Company of the Year
🥇 Most Community-Oriented Company of the Year (medium-sized business category), committee’s choice
🥇 Most Community-Oriented Company of the Year (medium-sized business category), 15min.lt readers’ choice
🥇 Company with the Safest and Most Supportive Work Environment (medium-sized business category)
The award
The National Responsible Business Award is an initiative of state institutions in Lithuania. Since 2008, it has aimed to raise awareness about the benefits of corporate social responsibility for businesses, the state, and everyone and to encourage the country's companies to implement the principles of social responsibility in their activities.
Over the years, the award has honored Lithuanian offices and divisions of Philip Morris, Telia, Coca-Cola, Swedbank, Western Union, Mars, and Microsoft, as well as local and national ventures. Due to its prominence, it is often referred to as the "business Oscars" in Lithuania.
One of the Most Community-Oriented Company of the Year awards is given based on the public voting on the 15min.lt portal, while the award committee determines the other awardees. No applications are submitted for the Socially Responsible Company nomination, and the committee selects the winner after assessing the activities of the companies submitted to other nominations.
In 2024, almost a hundred companies were competing for the awards.

Recognition
Gurtam sincerely thanks the National Responsible Business Awards for their invaluable work in promoting corporate social responsibility.
Although Gurtam has received various international and industry-specific awards, this is our first national-level business award in Lithuania. It’s an immense honor for the Gurtam team to get nationwide recognition for their work, which includes:
-
-
Commitment to social activities like tree planting, supporting animal shelters, and donating blood. Every marathon or Ejimas has Gurtam employees on their list as participants.
-
Supporting the community via collaborating with universities, participating in the local business communities, hosting tech events and conferences, and more.
-
Building an outstanding workplace where we invest in our team’s well-being by organizing corporate events, offering continuous education opportunities, ensuring internationally certified management, security, and transparency standards, and more. At Gurtam, employees find not only career growth opportunities but also a strong sense of community and professional fulfillment.

Aliaksei Shchurko, Gurtam CEO
"I would like to thank the entire Gurtam team for their continuous collective effort, which was reflected and recognized by these awards. As a company, we never settled on only delivering software or being a trusted partner, although undoubtedly, this is what we do every day.
I firmly believe that a successful company is not solely defined by financial performance. It’s a place where people want to work, and it’s an organization that cares not only about profit but also invests in the well-being of the community, city, and country where its operations are located.
I would also like to thank Lithuania's Ministry of Social Security and Labour for recognizing businesses that share the same values. It’s no coincidence that Gurtam’s headquarters reside in Vilnius, Lithuania, where we can continue to foster the vision relevant to the 2025 European business landscape."
