BUSINESS CONCEPT
The Forest Company is a closed-ended investment company that integrates long-term capital appreciation, income generation, and meaningful social impact. We invest in forest plantations in regions with high biological growth rates, particularly Brazil and Colombia.
Our shareholder base includes institutional investors, family offices, and company management. To date, we have committed capital to six projects encompassing both greenfield developments and established plantations in these two countries.
