Supporting Our Communities
We care for our forests and the communities connected to them.
We care for our forests and the communities connected to them.
Being good neighbours means taking the time to understand what matters in the places where we live and work. Through our community giving, we support local schools, sports teams, cultural events, and environmental initiatives, contributing in ways that reflect the life of the communities around us.
Shaping the Future of Forestry
Driving the New Zealand forestry sector forward is part of our commitment, and our teams are actively involved in making it happen. We contribute our expertise and participate in industry leadership through partnerships with New Zealand Wood Councils, and the Forest Growers Levy Trust, public research organisations, the Forest Owners Association. Through these and other sector collaborations, we foster innovation and strengthen forestry for the future.
