To be sustainable, a company must be profitable. Panama Teak Forestry makes money for its investors, returning an extremely competitive annualized yield of 12%. But to be truly successful, an enterprise must provide a return on investment that extends well beyond the numbers on a P&L statement.
Beyond the Balance Sheet
Panama Teak Forestry is a green investment. Our holistic agro-forestry approach to land management offers these environmental benefits:
- Helps to counter the greenhouse effect.
Our teak trees actively bind carbon from the atmosphere, helping to reduce global warming. - Provides an alternative to the destructive clearing of native teak forests in Asia.
We offer a sustainable source of teak to meet the escalating demand for tropical hardwood, particularly from India and China. - Contributes to Panama´s reforestation program.
For decades, Panama´s tropical forests have been systematically destroyed by clear cutting and burning. We have returned hundreds of hectares of land to productivity by planting them in tropical hardwood. We are also restoring native vegetation to areas that are environmentally sensitive or are not suitable for commercial wood production, increasing the biodiversity of the land under our management. - Improves soil health and yield.
- Provides watershed protection and animal habitat.
Socially Responsible
Panama Teak Forestry brings new opportunities to rural communities of Panama, improving the lives of working families. We provide forestry and mill jobs in areas which previously offered few employment opportunities. Our labor force works closely with the company’s forestry engineers to maintain Panama Teak Forestry’s timber and livestock and to restore non-arable areas to a natural state.
Our managers are dedicated to the principles of the Forestry Stewardship counsel (FSC) and are educating Panama Teak Forestry´s work force about the problems caused by traditional "slash and burn" practices and demonstrating more ecologically responsible methods of silviculture and agriculture. Our employees are sharing these new techniques for sustainable and profitable land management with their families and neighbors, bringing an increased awareness to the larger community.
Panama Teak Forestry is committed to healthy growth. It benefits our community as well as our company.
