Massive Carbon Sequestration Impact
Total forest carbon storage stands at 7.4 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent, with annual sequestration exceeding 100,000 tonnes in post-1989 forests. Participation in the Emissions Trading Scheme has generated nearly $51 million in carbon credit sales since 2010, providing direct support for New Zealand's zero carbon objectives.
Sustainable harvest balance
Our sustainable management approach maintains carbon storage while providing timber products. With balanced age-class distribution and sustainable harvest levels, our forests contribute to long-term climate stability while meeting New Zealand's timber needs.
