Innovation for sustainable forestry

EKEN Financing Value Added Forestry AB is a Swedish company founded in 2020 that develops certified carbon credit projects in Nordic forests. The driving force behind the company is that the revenue from carbon credits should enable forest owners to transition to more sustainable forestry while benefiting from the rapid technological development within the forest sector. AI and data on the growth and health of individual trees lay the foundation for a new paradigm in forestry. EKEN contributes to a third way of forestry, moving away from today’s destructive polarization between environmental interests and industrial forestry.

Through EKEN’s projects, forest owners gain a new source of income alongside timber and pulp, while Swedish companies are given the opportunity to invest in verified climate actions with high integrity.

EKEN’s team has extensive experience in forestry, sustainable development, and investment analysis.
