Baltic Green Fund

This sustainable investment consists of 4 key elements of value:

• Biological growth: The average annual increase in wood volume in the Baltic states is between 5.5 and 7.5 m3 per hectare. However, investing in a younger forest with a higher biological growth potential can result in higher growth.
• Active asset management: Compliance with the highest sustainability (FSC certificate) and forest industry standards. Complete value chain: purchase and maintenance of forest and sale of timber.
• Asset consolidation: Increasing operational efficiency and reducing risk factors.
• Contribution to a clean environment: CO2 absorption is reported every year in the annual sustainability report.

The fund’s goal is to form a Portfolio within 7-8 years, which will be attractive to every strategic investor looking for vertical business integration. During the lifetime of the fund, the highest priority will be given to young/middle-aged forests with maximum biological growth potential.

The main criteria for the formation of the future forest land portfolio:

• 100 km distance to the large wood industry
• Agricultural assets: < 30%
• Average age – from 20 to 40 years, density: >100m3/ha
• The composition of high-value raw materials – at least 2/3 of the portfolio must consist of pines, firs, and birches

All forests acquired and managed by the Baltic Green Fund are maintained accordingly with the strictest requirements of the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) organization.

Every year, the Foundation submits sustainability reports, in which, in addition to all performed plantings, thinnings, and other forestry activities, the CO2 absorption data of the assets managed by the Foundation is also presented.

The companies managed by the fund actively participate in the activities of the forest associations of each country, promoting the development of sustainable forestry and various environmental initiatives.
