ARAUCO joins global initiative to value natural assets


The subsidiary will be part of a pilot program led by the International Sustainable Forestry Coalition (ISFC), which seeks to apply Natural Capital Accounting (NCA) principles in companies in the forestry sector.

The project, involving 18 companies from different countries, aims to establish a common framework for measuring and reporting the value of natural assets, with the support of the Capitals Coalition and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). Among its objectives, it aims to quantify the benefits provided by forests, such as carbon sequestration, biodiversity, and water regulation, as well as timber production, and to project their contribution to the economy and communities in the long term.

For ARAUCO, which operates in the forestry sector, having functional and healthy ecosystems is a key condition for its future sustainability. In this context, valuing nature as a strategic asset takes on special relevance.
