Astarte Capital Partners Joins the International Sustainable Forestry Coalition (ISFC)

Astarte Capital Partners is pleased to announce that it has joined the International Sustainable Forestry Coalition (ISFC) as its 25th Full Member, further strengthening our engagement with the global sustainable forestry investment community.

The ISFC brings together organisations that collectively manage approximately 32 million hectares of forestry land across 42 countries, united by a mission to advance a circular bioeconomy that benefits climate, nature and people.

The Coalition provides a platform for leading forestry investors and managers to collaborate on the role that responsibly managed forests can play in addressing global challenges, while supporting the continued development of forestry as a long-term institutional asset class.

At Astarte, we strongly believe in the role of sustainable forestry in advancing a circular bioeconomy and supporting long-term economic development. Together with our partners at SilviPar, we are putting this into practice in Paraguay through a forestry platform that combines commercial forestry with the conservation of natural ecosystems and positive outcomes for local communities.

Our forestry strategy is built around the principle of combining the productive use of land with conservation, responsible land management and positive outcomes for local communities. As institutional interest in natural capital continues to develop, collaboration across the industry will be increasingly important in demonstrating how sustainable forestry can contribute to climate and nature objectives while creating long-term economic value.

Joining ISFC provides an important platform for Astarte to contribute its experience as an investor in sustainable forestry, while engaging with other leading organisations operating across different markets globally. We look forward to working with ISFC CEO Ross Hampton and fellow members to exchange knowledge, share best practices, and support the continued development of sustainable forestry as an institutional asset class.

We would like to thank the ISFC Board of Directors for the warm welcome and look forward to contributing to the Coalition’s work.
