Africa

Our Africa strategy offers access to sustainable forestry operating companies and related assets in Sub-Saharan Africa with the aim of delivering commercial returns alongside conservation and sustainable development outcomes at scale.

 

New Forests has had a presence in Kenya since 2021 and launched the Africa Forestry Impact Platform in 2022.

Our vision is to see investment in land use and forestry central to the transition to a sustainable future, and sub-Saharan Africa must be part of the equation.

What we do in Africa

New Forests’ strategy in Africa is centred around four areas: consolidation, restructuring, growth, and enhanced impact.

We focus on managing a portfolio of forests and forest management operations, while also managing investment in conservation, rehabilitation, and community benefit projects.

With a value creation mindset, we work with teams on the ground to enhance operating processes, implement analytical tools, improve governance structures, and emphasise positive ESG and climate impacts.
