Organization
The New Forests Company
Participant in WWF’s Forests Forward programme since March 2021 and currently in the Performance Phase. In this phase, The New Forests Company and WWF are jointly implementing agreed action plans and demonstrating progress towards the intended outcomes and impacts.
The engagement is envisaged to strengthen the company's integrated Community + Conservation + Commerce-based Shared Value approach to doing business, while also growing and positively impacting the broader Ugandan forestry landscape. NFC will be ideally positioned as the anchor investment for the evolution of Uganda as a regional bio-economy/timber processing hub.
