To our stakeholders:

I am pleased to confirm that Futuro Forestal reaffirms its support of the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact in the areas of Human Rights, Labour, Environment and Anti-Corruption.

As an impact reforestation company in Central America we will continue to embrace (and seek to improve) the principles of the Global Compact into our daily operations. Community members, stakeholders and friends will continue to be informed of its significance as part of our core business strategy.

Sincerely yours,

Eric Rios
General Manager

Futuro Forestal has and will continue to support and believe in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Furthermore we commit to the prevention of abuse through internally developed evaluation mechanisms as well as certified external evaluation reports performed by unbiased industry specialists.

In the upcoming year Futuro Forestal will strongly advise project owners to certify individual plantations, not only for its rigid social and environmental benchmarks but to adopt an external evaluation system that will promote responsible management of the world's forests.

Improvements in the social and economic conditions of local stakeholders are monitored through survey data that considers employment, earnings, livelihood, satisfaction, etc.

Our investors require strict adherence to civil and tax law, as well as meaningful positive impact to our stakeholders. Violations may result in the termination of contracts, public investigation and corrective action.

Futuro Forestal monitors its performance through respected international certification agencies, as well as internal control mechanisms. Furthermore project sights are frequently visited by senior management. Human rights incidents may result in the cancellation of certification, and or contracts with investors.

It is in the company's interest, financially and morally, to adhere to the highest standards of regard for basic human rights.

FF will continue to treat the principles of the Global Compact not as something it will strive for, but as an integral part of its core-business. Our founders and leadership share a strong commitment to treating our workers with the utmost respect and will strive to identify and implement sustainable solutions to improving their livelihood in both the work place and in the community.

The workers right to association is respected. Workeshop and forums are open and annual company retreats create platforms for expression, both anonymous and public that create open avenues of communication to upper management and/or external auditors.

Project monitoring is part of our strategy to improve working conditions, in all aspects, in the reforestation business. Our monitoring system provides us with firsthand insight into our plantation conditions. This is an important component of maintaining adherence to the policies adopted by our company and its investors. We hope these steps will not only help us leverage our influence on the forestry industry but also provide data about how our policies have a tangible effect on the working conditions of our projects.

Futuro Forestal will not condone, in any way, any violation of the law, dishonestty or unethical business practices at any level of the business. This includes, but is not limited to: bribery, theft, laundering, or any illicit activity financial or otherwise.

Detection of corruption or illicit activity has been and will be met with immediate termination and a full external investigation. Furthermore external financial audits are conducted annually with full disclosure to the investor.

All business transactions, investment vehicles and companies are created and conducted with the utmost transparency and fully comply with both national and international laws.
