FOREWORD

KN envisions to be at the forefront of the energy transformation, empowering our customers to meet their sustainable growth objectives and maintain longterm competitiveness by providing them with essential energy resources. We aim at playing a pivotal role in enabling a sustainable energy future while supporting the success and resilience of our customers.

KN future extends beyond the realms of oil products or natural gas. The company is ready for the major challenge of transforming operations into a climate-neutral business by 2050, to shift away from fossil fuels to other forms of energy, and, at the same time, to continue the successful creation of value in the energy sector, both in terms of energy security and financial return for shareholders and Lithuania at large. KN is ready to take part in the energy transformation of Lithuania and the region, but also share our accumulated know-how and competence globally.

In this context, we need to look well ahead, enhance our current business model in order to ensure competitive advantage and greater profitability of our activities in the future. Success of the new strategy will predicate on KNs ability to generate profitable growth through current core businesses, in parallel building capabilities in new energy and monitoring industry progress.
