At Forest Investment Associates (FIA), we approach sustainability as an active, ongoing collaboration with our clients, partners, stakeholders, and the communities where we operate. Our annual Sustainability Report is more than a record of progress—it’s a platform for dialogue, transparency, and shared purpose. By celebrating milestones and acknowledging ongoing challenges, we aim to inspire pride and confidence in our collective efforts to deliver measurable environmental, social, and investment benefits through sustainable forest investments.
Key Highlights from 2024
