Our Vision
Preserving Our Planet for Future Generations
Leadership:
- We will plant 20,000 hectares of new forest by 2030.
- By planting new forests and not harvesting, we are actively contributing to climate change mitigation
- We will develop innovative solutions to address the climate challenge.
- We will make a significant contribution towards the world’s ambition to limit global temperature rise to a maximum of 1.5 °C.
Innovation:
- We will lead the science on the regeneration of forests to native state.
- Where practical, selected by-products from our forest management programme will be used for a range of sustainable economic applications, such as the development of bio-fuels or in bio-chemistry.
- We will define and lead industry best practice.
Trusted partnerships:
- We do what we say – every time.
- We deliver value for our partners – every year.
