ABP, Dutch Pension Giant, Invests in 70,000-Hectare U.S. Forestland
ABP, the Dutch pension giant, has acquired 70,000 hectares of U.S. forestland as a long-term real-asset investment. The move aims to deliver stable returns from timber while enhancing carbon sequestration, biodiversity, and climate resilience. ABP plans stewardship with certified forestry partners, emphasizing reforestation, habitat management, and wildfire mitigation. The portfolio addition diversifies geography and inflation-hedging exposure, supports rural jobs, and aligns with ABP’s net-zero and ESG commitments, integrating nature-based solutions into its broader investment strategy.
