Simultaneously for the first time and for a whole hour in the heart of New York, Times Square, a video representing Latvia and Latvenergo will be demonstrated on the screen of Nasdaq building. This is a particularly special event, when a story about Latvia will be demonstrated at one of the most popular places in the world. Therefore, Latvenergo has chosen to seize this opportunity to speak not only about values of the Group, but particularly highlight our country and the common value of our country and Latvenergo – responsibility towards environment.

Latvenergo AS received the Nasdaq Baltics exchange award for the Best Investor Relations among Bond Issuers within the framework of the annual Baltic Market Awards ceremony, where issuers of bonds were honoured and awarded for the first time.
