About Us

Vision

Our vision is thriving, biodiversity-rich forests, sustained by the communities who live within them, and a fairer way of trading that helps fight climate change.

We want to take our model to many more forest communities, in Indonesia and beyond, so that protecting and regenerating forests becomes the most rewarding livelihood available to them.

Alongside this, we are building traceable, transparent supply chains for coffee, cacao, vanilla and other non-timber forest products, so every buyer can see where their product comes from, who grew it, and the difference it makes to people, wildlife and the climate.

Mission

Poor forest management, extractive agriculture and unfair supply chain practices are degrading forests, disempowering the communities that depend on them and accelerating climate change. We exist to change this.

We empower communities living around biodiversity-rich forests by training them in climate-smart agroforestry, reviving traditional forest “gardening” that regenerates the land rather than clearing it. We build processing facilities so smallholders capture more of the value chain, and establish cooperatives that give farmers a stronger voice.

Through independent research stations, we conduct primary research to verify the impacts of our work and transfer that knowledge back to the communities we serve.

Values

Our values guide every partnership and decision:

• Honesty and fairness – We build trust through transparency and fair prices, especially with the forest communities we work alongside.
• Inclusion and empowerment – We are diverse and inclusive, and we put knowledge and opportunity in the hands of forest farmers, especially women.
• Forests first – When decisions are hard, we choose what is best for forests, peatlands and their communities. We are committed to zero deforestation and to expanding forest cover.
• Long-term thinking – We invest in human, social and natural capital that lasts for generations.
