GOVERNANCE BY DESIGN
TerraForestry™ projects should operate with clearly defined responsibilities across:
WHO OWNS
The land, trees, infrastructure or project entity.
WHO MANAGES
The plantation and operating activities.
WHO INVESTS
The capital and financing participants.
WHO VERIFIES
The appropriate financial, technical, regulatory or sustainability information.
WHO BENEFITS
The parties identified under the applicable project agreements.
Clear allocation of responsibilities helps reduce ambiguity and strengthen accountability.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Agroforestry is inherently long-term and exposed to multiple forms of risk.
CAPI’s governance framework recognizes the importance of managing:
Biological Risk
Tree health, mortality, pests, diseases and variable biological performance.
Climate Risk
Extreme weather, drought, flooding, fire and changing environmental conditions.
Operational Risk
Plantation execution, labor, infrastructure, logistics and supply-chain disruption.
Market Risk
Commodity prices, consumer demand, foreign exchange and market access.
Regulatory Risk
Land, forestry, environmental, investment, product and export requirements.
Financial Risk
Capital requirements, cash-flow timing, cost escalation and project economics.
Reputational Risk
Environmental, social, governance and product-provenance issues.
Risk management is integrated into project planning rather than treated as an afterthought.
TRANSPARENCY & ACCOUNTABILITY
CAPI seeks to establish systems that allow management and stakeholders to understand:
What was planned
→ What was invested
→ What was implemented
→ What was produced
→ What was achieved
→ What remains to be done
Digital plantation records and AgriTrace™ can support this process by connecting operational information with plantation and product records.
ESG GOVERNANCE
Environmental and social considerations are integrated into corporate and plantation decision-making.
