Sustainability
Sustainability is the Essence of Our Business at Mercygates
At Mercygates, sustainability isn’t a slogan — it’s the very heart of our business. Every decision we make is guided by responsibility for people, forests, and the future. As an FSC®-certified company, we guarantee that every product we create is made from raw materials harvested legally and from responsibly managed forests.
Responsible Sourcing
We believe that true sustainability starts with where the wood comes from. That’s why we:
-
Source mainly from state forest enterprises — either directly or through trusted suppliers
-
Verify every partner thoroughly — from legal documents to VAT registration
-
Personally visit sawmills to ensure transparent, ethical practices​
​
Every shipment we receive is fully traceable and documented, right back to the forest of origin.
Meticulous Quality Control
Sustainability also means responsibility in production. Each piece of incoming wood is:
-
Carefully inspected and measured
-
Marked with a supplier-specific color code
-
Registered with a unique number in our system
​
This system ensures that every board can be tracked throughout production and traced back to its original source.
Minimizing Waste, Maximizing Impact
We use natural resources with care. Every residue and by-product is:
​
-
Recycled or reprocessed for further use
-
Managed in line with Ukrainian environmental regulations
By reducing waste, we not only protect the environment but also create more value from every log we process.
Caring for People & Communities
For us, sustainability is also about people. We are proud to:
​
-
Provide a safe, fair, and supportive workplace
-
Invest in ongoing training and growth for our employees
-

When our people and communities thrive, so does our business.
