We are pleased to share the results of our 2024 Materiality Assessment. To determine where our business has the greatest impact on drivers of value and sustainability, we regularly conduct a materiality assessment which identifies the themes that are most important to our stakeholders and are significant to our business success. This is our most comprehensive to date.    With over 200 responses identifying 35 materiality themes across 7 stakeholder groups, feedback revealed:   🧍🏻Almost one quarter are most concerned about our Nature-based Solutions impact area, aligning with our core business managing forestry assets and landscapes.   🌳 Managed forest health ranks as the second most important theme with both impact and financial materiality.   🏞️ Land conversion ranks as the third most relevant theme for impact and financial materiality.   🌍 Human rights and labour rights are top themes for stakeholders in Africa and Asia.   As sustainability becomes more deeply embedded in risk management and business strategy, these results help us to enhance stakeholder engagement, inform resource allocation and influence reporting to create a sustainable future.

Materiality Assessments have historically been conducted to inform sustainability reporting, but their broader application has been minimal - a missed opportunity to feed into business strategy and to better identify risks and opportunities. This year at New Forests we took a wider lens to the assessment including the broad scoping of potential materiality themes as well as increasing the types of stakeholders to be engaged (such as 'nature' with environmental NGOs acting as a proxy). We captured insights with the use of The Cynefin Company's Sensemaker tool, where the gold is often uncovered in the less obvious places and 'outliers' perspectives are of equal value. It is our most informative #materialityassessment yet. Check it out, and feedback most welcome. https://lnkd.in/gbSGH7NR

Great to be at the launch today of the State of the World’s Forest 2024 at the 27th meeting of the Committee on Forestry of the FAO. Deforestation has significantly reduced across many countries, but climate change is heavily impacting on forests and forest growth. We will need innovation to meet the increasing global demand for wood fibre, with global wood production already at record levels and nearly 6 billion people globally using non-timber forests products. Innovation will need to take the form of social, technological, financial, institutional and policy changes. I’ve had some great meetings here with colleagues from the International Council of Forest & Paper Associations (ICFPA) talking about how we can collaborate on innovations on everything from forest restoration and management, policy development, and the utilisation of wood and wood products in the bioeconomy. We are working together to build awareness of the role forestry and wood processing can play in the bioeconomy. There will be a further session on bioeconomy here at COFO later in the week, and I’m looking forward to hearing more about what’s happening internationally in bioeconomy development, including in cascading uses for materials and raising the profile of timber and forest products for reducing emissions. It’s both an exciting and challenging time to be working in forestry, but I’m confident that through transformational collaboration and innovation forestry can provide nature based solutions to our dual climate and biodiversity crises. https://lnkd.in/gGrgjVV5
