Our Team
What Drives us as a Company?
At Foresta, our team shares a unified vision that goes beyond simply working with pine trees and their products. We’re focused on reshaping the way forests are managed, harvested, and replanted, ensuring their health and sustainability for future generations. Our commitment is to sustainable practices at every stage—from the forests we care for to the products we manufacture. We are mindful of the chemicals and materials we use, understanding that our products reach a wide range of industries and touch countless lives.
As pioneers in replacing coal with clean, sustainable wood pellets for energy, we are proud to lead the way toward a cleaner future. We work closely with local forestry farmers, iwi, and governments to enhance the well-being of our surrounding forests and communities. It’s this responsibility to people and the planet that drives everything we do.
