Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Different perspectives, stronger outcomes

Natural Capital investing is global, multi-layered and deeply connected to people and places. We believe the teams investing in its future should benefit from different perspectives, experiences and ways of thinking.

At NEWFORESTS, our people work across markets, cultures and communities around the world. That diversity of perspective strengthens how we challenge ideas, make decisions, solve problems and ultimately deliver for our clients and the communities in which we operate.

Our diversity takes many forms. Among employees who have voluntarily shared this information with us, 21 nationalities and 11 languages are represented. While it does not capture our entire workforce, it provides a glimpse of the breadth of backgrounds and experiences within our global team.

Our goal is to create a workplace where people are respected, supported and able to contribute – and where access to opportunity, development and progression is equitable.

We support that commitment through practical action. Our initiatives include flexible public holidays, DEI and unconscious bias learning, inclusive recruitment practices, pay equity reviews and targeted development opportunities. We continue to assess where we can do more, using our data and the experiences of our people to inform our priorities.

In FY26, 44% of NEWFORSTS employees were women, 42% of leadership roles were held by women and 33% of New Forests Pty Ltd Board members were women.

In FY26, women represented approximately one quarter of employees across our assets, while female representation on asset boards increased from 19% to 21% over the year.

Our commitment to these principles is reflected in our certification as a Certified B Corporation. 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.

Different backgrounds bring different perspectives. Different perspectives challenge our thinking. And better thinking helps us make better decisions.
