Qarlbo Biodiversity, a global pioneer in nature-positive forestry investment, has become a signatory to the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI).
The PRI is recognized as the leading global network of over 5,000 asset managers, owners, and service providers who are committed to integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations into their investment practices and ownership policies.
"We are delighted to become part of PRI. We share the organization's values and the principles for how responsible investments should be made," says Aleksandra Holmlund, CEO of Qarlbo Biodiversity, and continues:
"Our aim is to be a world leader in nature-positive forest investments and our ambition to make forestry more environmentally friendly. This way of conducting responsible forestry is something we expect will have a major impact over time."
The PRI is the world’s leading proponent of responsible investment, working to:
- Understand the investment implications of environmental, social and governance (ESG)factors;
- Support its international network of investor signatories in incorporating these factors into their investment and ownership decisions.
PRI's six principles of responsible investment:
1. We will incorporate ESG issues into investment analysis and decision-making processes.
2. We will be active owners and incorporate ESG issues into our ownership policies and practices.
3. We will seek appropriate disclosure on ESG issues by the entities in which we invest.
4. We will promote acceptance and implementation of the Principles within the investment industry.
5. We will work together to enhance our effectiveness in implementing the Principles.
6. We will each report on our activities and progress towards implementing the Principles.
