About BaumInvest

BaumInvest: A long story, a short explanation

Since the foundation of BaumInvest in 2007, we have developed step by step from a small pioneer company to a specialist in tropical mixed forest reforestation.

This pays off: We are constantly expanding our scope of action nationally in Costa Rica and for the first time internationally in 2022. With Colombia, we were able to add another country where our concept with its socio-economic and ecological impact is being applied.

Our near-natural forestry concept is applied in different forms: on 1280 ha for the sustainable production of tropical value timber and on more than 2000 ha for the storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) as part of climate protection projects.

The site selection of our areas is done very carefully with the aim of creating biodiversity corridors. In this way, we create and expand valuable habitats in species-rich regions, from which animal species threatened with extinction benefit in particular: Soldiers macaws, tapirs and jaguars are regularly sighted.

Our History- Every expert was a beginner once.

We launched the first BaumInvest fund in 2007 to reforest fallow pastureland in inland Costa Rica with native precious woods. The concept was so popular that we launched two more funds in 2009 and 2013, growing to around 2,000 shareholders.

The original economic planning of these funds differed from our current one. The necessary mathematical assumption was that the precious woods and land would be sold after a final clearcut – with corresponding distributions for the shareholders. However, it was clear from the very beginning, even among the shareholders, that BaumInvest wanted to establish itself as a permanent, long-term project and that the predicted clearcut was no longer an option.

In August 2018, after successful afforestation in all three funds, our shareholders decided to merge them into the non-listed BaumInvest AG – a milestone for the establishment and expansion of our business areas based on the afforestation of mixed forests: Sustainable Forestry and Carbon Compensation through Afforestation.

Our Philosophy – The forest is the Central Point of our Thoughts and Actions

BAUMINVEST AG´S VISION:
To turn our “sustainable afforestation” model into a larger, even more efficient initiative that involves more people and is transferable to other regions.

Securing private values and at the same time creating a future for the climate, nature and all people – that is our concept.

BAUMINVEST AG´S MISSION:
Striving for continuous growth through the purchase, afforestation and permanent forestry management of land as well as trade in forestry products from sustainable production.
Cooperations with science and research support the further development of our innovative forestry concept. BaumInvest AG lives up to its role as a specialist in sustainable, tropical forestry and is known for it.

BAUMINVEST AG´S STRATEGY:
At the core of the strategy is the continuous growth of our managed forest areas and protected natural forest through land purchase, reforestation with native tree species and permanent forest management/maintenance, followed by trading in forestry products from our own sustainable production. Our trees work to protect the climate by actively removing large amounts of carbon from the atmosphere and storing the carbon in wood and soil (carbon capture).
In cooperation with science and research, BaumInvest AG has gained recognition with its innovative reforestation concept and is meeting with increasing interest in professional circles as a specialist for sustainable, tropical forestry.
In addition, BaumInvest AG would like to offer attractive solutions for the compensation of unavoidable carbon emissions for private individuals as well as companies and position itself successfully on the market.
