Where Profit Meets Sustainable
Social Environmental Impact

Green Wood Farming directly owns, manages, and invest in 11.550 Hectares 
sustainable industrial forest plantations in Borneo, Indonesia


About Green Wood Farming
(GWF)

GWF owns 11,550 hectares of industrial forest plantations with 60 years concession rights, and is 100% legally certified by the Indonesian government.
The concession holds the equivalent of over 10 million tonnes of carbon and over 36 million tonnes of CO2.

 

Replanting

Calliandra Alothyrsus

The re-planting program will help reduce the concession's susceptibility to soil erosion, and the branches will be converted into wood pellets for sustainable energy production

We will also optimise our land usage by diversifying into organic agricultural farming. To achieve this goal, GWF will plant perennial plants such as red ginger, turmeric, and lemongrass.

Red Ginger

Is sometimes called Pink Cone Ginger or Ostrich Plume. It is a native Malaysian plant with bright red bracts. These look like the bloom, but the actual flower is the small white flower at the top. Ginger grows thick underground stems and its flowers emit a subtle fragrance

Turmeric

Comes from the root of Curcuma longa, a leafy plant in the ginger family. The root, or rhizome, has a tough brown skin and bright orange flesh. Turmeric is routinely added to mustard blends and relishes. It also is used in place of saffron to provide color and flavor.

Lemongrass

Cymbopogon citratus, is a perennial grass in the family Poaceae grown for its fragrant leaves and stalks which are used as a flavoring. The grass grows in dense clumps and has several stiff stems and slender blade-like leaves which droop towards the tips.

Our Goal

Through diversification, we aim to maximise profits and at the same time catalyse economic empowerment of local populations through job creation. Our main goal is to adopt the SDG framework of “people-profit-planet” which optimises profit while yielding significant community and public benefits

We use modern forestry and plantation approaches by adopting technology which supports precision forestry and guarantees product traceability. Once established, production and operational costs (management, harvesting, and restocking of perennial plants etc.) will be more than offset by revenues from timber and wood pellet production, creating a long-term orientated sustainable business.
