Sustainability at LG Madeiras
Sustainability Rooted at the Source
Sustainability at LG Madeiras is not a recent initiative — it has been part of the company’s foundation since the very beginning.
The company originated from the planting of Pine and Eucalyptus forests, where its founders were already directly involved in reforestation activities. This practical experience evolved into a business model based on the responsible use of wood resources, combining productivity with environmental preservation.
Since then, LG Madeiras has remained committed to promoting reforestation, supporting landowners and partners with technical guidance on best practices in forest planting and management.
🌳 Sustainable Forestry Cycle
LG Madeiras operates under a continuous forest cycle model:
- Acquisition of reforested areas
- Responsible harvesting of timber
- Replanting of harvested areas
- Development of new productive forests
This process ensures the renewability of natural resources, contributing to the creation of new forest ecosystems and maintaining a balance between production and environmental conservation.
In addition, the company actively supports local communities, generating jobs, income, and regional development in the areas where it operates.
🌍 Certifications and International Compliance
LG Madeiras’ sustainability practices are reinforced by compliance with international standards and regulations:
- FSC® Certification – ensuring responsible forest management
- EUDR Compliance (European Union Deforestation Regulation)
- Operations aligned with ESG principles
These commitments ensure that LG Madeiras meets the requirements of the most demanding global markets, particularly in Europe and North America.
♻️ Full Utilization – Zero Waste Concept
LG Madeiras follows a zero-waste policy, ensuring the full utilization of raw materials.
All incoming material is efficiently processed:
- High-quality wood → industrial products (sawn timber, veneer, plywood)
- By-products → biomass
- Residues → energy generation
This approach significantly reduces waste and converts by-products into clean and renewable energy, reinforcing the company’s commitment to the circular economy.
🚛 Sustainable Logistics
The company also invests in modern sustainable transportation practices.
Its fleet operates using:
- Biodiesel
- ARLA 32 (emission reduction system for nitrogen oxides – NOx)
This combination contributes to the reduction of atmospheric emissions, aligning logistics operations with global green transport and ESG standards.
