Free forest
Core strategy
Our forest acquisition and management perspective is based on a buy-to-hold-forever timeline of our forest assets.
Our core strategy builds on the concept of "Free forest" - this secures that we maximize long-term value creation for our owners rather than optimizing short-term cash flows.
"Free forest" means in practical terms for us:
- Free from financial leverage (= very low financial risk)
- Free from long-term wood-uptake agreements (= we do not need to sell wood when prices are low)
- Free from own industrial wood plants (= we do not need to generate a continuous wood flow to just one customer)
- Free from external property managers (= we do manage local operations and thus risk & upside with own people, who also are large owners in GreenGold, thus strong alignment of incentives)
- Free from any management fees towards its owners (= we are the most cost efficient way to own forest collectively, compared to other financial structures like closed-end funds, equity traded funds or managed accounts)
