Our methods

Consultancy

We provide adivice for sustainable forestry. The core of our working method is an integrated approach of several areas of expertise. For this purpose we have experienced staff with forestry, ecological, financial or socio-ethical expertise.

In particular we have experience with public-private projects in developing countries. We also act as long term project manager for such projects.

Our first contact with forestry businesses is often in the field of forestry and ecological consultancy.

In this process we also advise on the possibilities and benefits of establishing ecological corridors to create ecological networks for recovery and preservation of biological diversity.

Remnants of original primary forest, which form a good basis for the structuring of ecological corridors, are often still present in the project areas.

Combining sustainable forestry with lasting recovery of high quality ecological networks creates an opportunity for innovative green forms of financing by private and institutional investors.

Corporate finance

We perform corporate finance and financing assignments. In these fields we explore the possibilities for forestry businesses of riskful financing by private and institutional investors.

A risk analysis and a forestry and financial due dilligence may be part of our assignment.

We have our own forestry evaluation model, in which we have integrated our knowledge in the areas of forestry and finance.

This rating model can be used by plantations to optimise their management. Furthermore, the projection of the future cashflows produced by this model is useful for investors.

In corporate finance assignments, we look at projects from a forestry perspective. We analyse the possibilities for innovative forms of financing for components of the necessery investment.

We assess the possibility of selling CO2 emission rights, find sponsors for bio rights, availability of specific funds, and the possibiliy of acquiring green loans from banks.
