‘ECO FRIENDLY INVESTMENT’
‘Flexible and stable investment that comes with a clear conscience’
'Investing in forestry (and ultimately timber) is becoming increasingly more popular due to the investment opportunities now being offered to all levels of investment.
Historically, financial institutions have invested in timber and produced consistent long-term profits for themselves. They offer steady, stable increases with predictably high returns, and as they are not correlated to the stock market, they do not suffer from unpredictable peaks and troughs.
As the demand for timber is projected to rise in line with the growth of the global population (as much as 55.88% by 2050 - UN), primarily being driven by countries such as China, India and Russia and their insatiable appetite for construction timber & energy wood, investing in timber simply makes sense.
Unfortunately, this is driving illegal forestry operations worldwide to cope with the demand, all with devastating effect. To help relieve this pressure on the natural supply chain, Ethical Forestry has created sustainable plantations, which offer an alternative, ecologically friendly supply source.
Ethical Forestry’s plantations are run on a ‘for profit’ basis, clearly focused on healthy returns for investors whilst offering a high level of investor security. For this purpose, Ethical Forestry own all of our plantations outright, have onsite management teams caring for them on a daily basis, supply individual GPS (global positioning system) reference points for each planted tree and process all timber through their bespoke timber mills. This attention to detail makes Ethical Forestry unique within the market place as they manage the whole process for investors, from seed to valuable timber.
Ethical Forestry know that investing for profit and having a clear conscious are important considerations for investors. For every plantation that Ethical Forestry buy, they also purchase existing wild forests and place them within their forestry easement trust. This easement trust preserves these valuable forests, creates carbon sinks and protects the wildlife within them that can be so easily lost.'
