Dear Sir or Madame

79% of all investors care about sustainability. But only a few investors know that timber investments are much more than afforestation. Timber investments transcend the forest economy and have a significant climate impact along the entire "forest to building"- value chain.

We are pleased to introduce the first Timber Finance Initiative newsletter which aims to establish Timber as the Champion of Sustainable Finance.

Our team of financial and timber industry experts is committed to providing content that offers real value to our community of sustainable finance investors, carbon investors, and members of the timber industry.

After all, these are exciting times: Not only for the booming timber industry but for the growing sustainable finance community and - of course - the rapidly evolving carbon markets. We are pleased to be leading the development of the first Timber Carbon Capture and Storage Methodology together with Verra and South Pole.

We wish you a great week and we look forward to your feedback on our first Newsletter!

Since 2020, the forest and timber industry is at the beginning of a significant growth cycle. After years of low investment and lumber prices, the industry is now undergoing transformative changes: Governments are supporting timber construction through major regulatory changes and institutional investors have rediscovered the timber value chain.

The Timber Finance Index is the first index that focuses on the climate benefits of Mass Timber and tracks the 30 leading listed equities from the forest and timber industry across Europe and North America. It shows a clear outperformance since March 2020 compared to the MSCI World and the S&P Timber and Forest index.

CARBON SOLUTIONS

The Timber Finance Initiative, Green Canopy NODE, South Pole, and Gordian Knot Strategies are pleased to announce they have joined efforts in creating the first mass timber carbon credit methodology.

We are developing a globally applicable carbon credit methodology for mass timber construction in Verra’s Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) GHG crediting Program.
