Investing in the nature and climate transition: Creating value beyond traditional sustainable timberland management

There’s a growing consensus that the inexorable nature and climate transition taking place across the globe will have profound implications for the world economy. From where we sit as a global asset manager, this ongoing, multifaceted transition also implies a vast and rich spectrum of possibilities—many of them still emerging— for discerning asset allocators.

We believe the investable universe associated with these five themes is enormous, cuts across the global capital markets, and offers a long-term runway that all investors should explore.

As the world’s largest timberland investment manager, we’re honoured to celebrate our 40th year of conducting our business in a way that improves our environment, nourishes our communities, empowers our people, and delivers performance for our clients.
