  • Description: A recent study by the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), based in Bogor, Indonesia, warns that a lack of due diligence in the expanding global pulp sector may lead to higher degrees of financial and operational risks than investors realize. CIFOR's report reveals that banks and other financial institutions often conduct only minimal due diligence to assess the sources of wood for pulp projects, in spite of the fact that mills can involve investments of $1 billion or more. With a forestry portfolio of over $1 billion, the International Finance Corp is playing an increasingly important role in financing pulp and plantation projects in emerging economies. The good news is that a growing number of financial institutions have recently adopted stronger safeguards to limit negative social and environmental impacts of forest-related investments.
