Our Forests

What is a smart forest™?

A Smart Forest™ is a blend of nature's wisdom and advanced technology, influenced by the knowledge of Indigenous communities. Our team uses their expertise and innovative digital tools to measure and track a forest’s ability to create clean air and purify water.

Through forest management, we also  look at techniques to reduce natural disaster risks and rejuvenate our country's essential ecosystems, economy, and social well-being.

Our data partner, Restor enables mapping of our nature sites to showcase reforestation progress, simplify nature reporting and help our partners and customers share their impact story.

Planting a mix of tree species is crucial for biodiversity and resilience. It enhances ecosystem stability, improves resistance to pests and diseases, and supports diverse ecological functions.

Reforestation, tree-planting and forest management offer a natural solution to one of our era's most daunting challenges.

More than just tree planting 

Through our unique six-phased approach, we are committed to the enduring health of our Smart Forest™ ecosystems.
