Aim of the Arbaro Fund

Arbaro invests in sustainable forestry projects in Latin America, the Caribbean, and Sub-Saharan Africa in countries where biophysical growth conditions for forests are ideal.

By establishing a renewable resource through sustainably managed, FSC-certified forest plantations, Arbaro provides significant climate change mitigation and adaptation benefits in its target countries: Over its lifetime, Arbaro aims to sequester 20 million metric tons of CO₂.

Arbaro is furthermore set to create around 5,000 new jobs and contribute to knowledge and skill development in the rural areas in which it operates.

This combination of environmental and social benefits makes an Arbaro investment a generator of positive impact on both a local and global level while earning solid financial returns.

Arbaro is supported by the European Investment Bank as anchor investor; the Finnish Fund for Industrial Cooperation as an experienced forestry investor; and multiple private-sector investors. The Arbaro Fund is a Luxembourg-based private equity fund managed by FiM Asset Management S.à r.l. and advised by Arbaro Advisors GmbH.
