All wood supply chains to the enterprise are traceable and certified.
“The FSC standard enhances the competitiveness of our products in the markets and confirms our commitment to the environment,” – the company notes. – This certification ensures environmental, social and economic benefits for all stakeholders, especially for the population of the regions of our activity. This is the best way to declare the transparency of our business and its desire to preserve nature. Those who certify their production and those who buy certified products do a common thing – they contribute to better forest management and preservation of them in the interests of future generations.»

The Strategic Session “A New Era of Sustainable Development in RES and EE in Ukraine – Horizon 2025” was about energy efficiency. The greatest challenge of today is the rational use of energy resources. That is why the specialists of the energy direction of Ukraine Energy company also joined the event.
Obviously, investing in the country’s energy is one of the significant needs of today. However, we also have many specific Ukrainian risks, which are often exaggerated. Much attention was paid to green tariffs and renewables. Experts also point out that the industry has even more significant challenges.
Christina Yan, a leading specialist at Ukraine Energy, said: “The issue of Ukrenergo certification as an independent transmission system operator was particularly important to us. At present, the issue remains unresolved. Attraction of investments, introduction of modern technologies can cause significant positive changes in the industry and economy of the country. But first of all, we all need to take conscious steps to improve the mechanisms of our interaction. “
10th European-Ukrainian Energy Day was held in honor of the anniversary of the European-Ukrainian Energy Agency. EUEA has become an effective platform for realizing the massive potential of projects in the fields of energy conservation and renewable energy.
“Effective investments” was acquired by the largest aggregator of private medical institutions in the country from the Chernovetskyi Investment Group (CIG). The size of the transaction was not disclosed, but both parties note that they are satisfied with the agreement reached.
Igor Liski Head of the Board of directors spoke about the reasons for acquiring the project by the “Effective investments” group of companies.
“Efficiency in all solutions is our main value. We invest in a lot of successful projects and modernize entire industries. For the whole team and for me personally it is very important to choose projects that are capable to create. Each of our projects creates an ecosystem, enables each employee and clients to develop, expands the capabilities of Ukraine as a whole. DOC.UA is an investment in improving the quality of medical care in our country. This is also a significant step for the IT sector, in the success of which I am sure. We have acquired not only the industry leader in the Ukrainian market, we have invested in a unique team of specialists. DOC.UA will scale, its technology and team are able to improve and amaze the whole world,” shared Igor Liski.
In 2014, Chernovetskyi Investment Group (CIG) invested in DOC.UA, an online doctor search and appointment service. DOC.UA has become the largest player in the Ukrainian market in five years.
Stepan Chernovetsky, the founder of CIG and a shareholder in DOC.UA, notes: “It was not just a venture deal: we created a successful project and developed it to be the market leader. I believe that CIG and DOC.UA is one of the most brilliant examples of partnerships in business.” Volodymyr Krivko, managing partner of CIG and mentor at DOC.UA, details: “We didn’t just invest in the company that the entrepreneur created, and we created this company together: we carried out a market analysis, wrote a strategic development concept, recruited a team. In fact, DOC.UA has passed the business incubation on the CIG platform. In this project, we performed the role of not just an investor, but a full-fledged partner who provided legal support, created the product and developed the business. This is a very rare phenomenon not only in the Ukrainian market, but also in world practice.”
Sergey Kazantsev, the founder and CEO of DOC.UA, who began developing this area in 2013, emphasizes the uniqueness of the project: “The DOC.UA project has grown significantly over the past five years. Undoubtedly, now we are waiting for big calls. However, the new shareholder fully supports our company’s development strategy. In addition, the desire to scale and the values shared with the shareholder will allow the company to conquer new heights. ”
CIG received a successful exit from investments, and the Effective Investments group of companies got a productive leader of the Ukrainian market in doctors online search.
DOC.UA is an online doctor search service launched in 2014. Today DOC.UA unites more than 1,300 clinics and 7,000 doctors in 24 cities of Ukraine. The service solves problem of choosing the right specialist and quick appointment. DOC.UA is absolutely free for patients, and has no hidden charges or commissions. Users of the aggregator have the opportunity to choose a clinic or a doctor, starting from real patient reviews, prices for services, mode of operation or location of the medical center.
