Over the past decade, we have witnessed substantial development in the importance of corporate responsibility. Corporations are increasingly investing in and accounting for their actions. In some cases, this is a response to the regulatory environment, while in others, it is more grounded in strategic corporate goals and operating philosophy. In either case, the concepts of ESG/impact investing and sustainability are in many ways synonymous with investments in forestland portfolios. Not only do many properties offer the potential for carbon sequestration and storage, they often offer a trove of other ESG attributes, creating a strong integrated solution.
