"Having recognised a few years ago the vital role that forestry needs to play
in the battle against climate change and its unique attractions as a truly
sustainable asset class, the team at Foresight Group is extremely pleased to
see Foresight Sustainable Forestry Company listing on the London Stock
Exchange. COP26 recently underlined the huge importance of forests and

will make a real sustainability, biodiversity and ESG impact in this
country."
