We move forward and upward.
We are an FSC® (FSC®-C167272) certified, vertically integrated, sustainable plantation and wood product processing business in the Vichada region of Colombia.
Our near-term focus is on selling industrial lumber, fence posts and biomass in the domestic market through long-term offtake agreements. We are also a producer of high-quality carbon credits which are sold in the international markets.

Right from the start, our goal has been to make a positive impact on the communities and environment where we operate. This goal requires us to build a model that is sustainable – socially, environmentally, and economically. That’s why we are committed to taking a bold approach to continuous learning.
