Rayne van den Berg, CFO of forest manager Forico, said: “We were so proud to be recognised for last year’s Embedding an Integrated Approach (non-listed companies) award among other distinguished businesses that are working hard to be part of the solution to climate change and biodiversity loss. “The award has really inspired the team and increased our profile – and pushed our campaign to go even further in its mission to make money matter.” It was a brilliant moment of recognition for the team, and wonderful to be considered alongside the other fantastic nominees.
