Why We're Investing In Timber The Building Material for a Sustainable Future

The CEO of sustainable real assets investment manager New Forests describes the growing interest of institutional investors in the forestry sector, the opportunities in a circular bio-economy, and how New Forests is responding to this by developing a range of new investments, including participating in the mass timber construction revolution. He shares his views on how the expanded use of wood in construction could lead to a net zero emissions building sector, the global supply-demand dynamics associated with the bio-economy transition, and on key policy issues for Australian governments to support this transition.

The head of innovation for Timberlink, a leading Australian wood products business, then illustrates how they see the future for their business and describes how their recently commissioned GLT & CLT plant will help meet the growing demand for mass timber construction.

A high-profile Q&A panel featuring a premier builder (Ross Snowball, Multiplex), an architect with unparalleled reputation (Julian Anderson, BatesSmart) and WoodSolutions’ consultant in strategic research (Andrew Know, Pollinate) provide a lively and insightful conversation on how to link the present needs with a sustainable future.

David Brand, Founder of New Forests
