Green Resources AS is a leading African plantation and forest products company.
About us
Green Resources (GR) is Africa’s largest forestation company and a leader in East African wood manufacturing. The company has 45,000 ha of standing forest in Mozambique, Tanzania and Uganda, established through its own planting activities. It operates East Africa’s largest sawmill in Tanzania and electricity pole and charcoal plants in Mozambique, Tanzania and Uganda. It is also one of the first companies globally to receive carbon revenue from its plantation forests. GR was established in 1995 and is a private Norwegian company with 80 shareholders. It employs 3,500 people as well as engaging numerous contractors and suppliers. The companies making up GR have invested close to USD 300m of equity in its African operations. GR aims to serve the growing regional and global demand for wood products. Its strategy is based on growing wood for both traditional uses and the growing bio-chemical and energy sectors. GR is a leader in carbon finance with four validated reforestation projects. GR harvests logs from its own plantations, and revenues from harvesting is expected to increase sharply over the next few years. GR aims to follow the highest international environmental standards by conserving natural forest and other valuable habitats. The company has three-quarters of its planted forests certified according to the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) standard and is aiming for 100% certification. As part of this sustainability policy, the company only harvests plantation forest, is currently planting at least ten new trees for every one it harvests, and only plants on low value grassland or degraded forestland. GR’s strategy is based on the sustainable development of the areas in which it operates. The company believes forestation is one of the most efficient ways of improving social and economic conditions for people in rural areas and aims to be the preferred partner for local communities in these areas as well as the favoured African employer within its industry.

A 25 sqm studio house built with 100% FSC timber from Green Resources AS Forget about the days when you have to build a house for years. personally from my experience I know someone who built a brick and mortar house that never left the wall plate. There could be several reasons but here is the good news. If you are to fix the gap of affordable housing you need something built with quality but in a shortest period of time. What can combine sustainable forestry with construction to make something that speaks with a story, a project that not only stores over 10 tonnes of CO2 but also creates green jobs on top of the thousands of sqm for forest areas sustained. This non other than Easy Housing . Sustainable.Social and Scalable. Credits to Evaline Alum for making this house and the video too. ##AhomeForEveryone
