Sustainability & Impact

Approach & Reporting

Integrating sustainability and impact into Natural Capital investing

Sustainability and impact have been central to NEWFORESTS’ investment approach for over two decades. As a global natural capital investment manager, we believe the long-term performance of our investments is closely linked to healthy, resilient and productive landscapes and thriving communities.

This belief is reflected in how we invest, manage assets and operate our business. It guides how we manage risk, identify opportunities and create long-term value for investors, while delivering measurable social and environmental impact and advancing our mission to unlock, preserve and enhance the true value of natural capital.

Our Sustainability and Impact Management System (SIMS) is the backbone of how we deliver sustainability and impact in practice.

The SIMS provides clear and consistent sustainability and impact standards and management requirements are applied across our investments and corporate operations supported by robust sustainability and impact governance, risk management, performance monitoring and continuous improvement.

Our investment strategies seek to create positive impacts at scale in three areas: Nature-based Solutions, Shared Prosperity, and the Circular Bioeconomy.

Nature-based Solutions

NEWFORESTS invests in forests and land for a climate-positive and nature-positive future.

Shared
Prosperity

NEWFORESTS contributes to prosperous and sustainable communities where we operate.

Circular
Bioeconomy

NEWFORESTS provides wood fibre for a low carbon and sustainable bioeconomy.

NEWFORESTS has been certified as a B Corp since 2018, in recognition of our high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency.

Certified B Corporations are a global community of like-minded organisations who envision an inclusive, equitable and regenerative economic system.

We participate in a range of voluntary reporting initiatives and frameworks, alongside compliance with relevant sustainability-related regulatory disclosure requirements.

We continually evolve our reporting in response to emerging standards, stakeholder expectations and industry best practice.

Beyond reporting, NEWFORESTS contributes to shaping the future of Natural Capital investment and sustainable land use through industry collaboration, advocacy and leadership in key initiatives.
