We are excited to announce the membership of CREE Buildings, an international construction collective specializing in sustainable building solutions, in the Timber Finance Initiative, marking a significant step toward advancing sustainable building practices worldwide.
Building a Sustainable Future with CREE Buildings
CREE Buildings envisions a future characterized by knowledge sharing, collaboration, and a profound respect for nature and its resources. They are dedicated to making their extensive knowledge and resource network available to all forward-thinking minds invested in building a greener future. Their innovative timber-hybrid system, coupled with a cutting-edge technology and a global network of partners, empowers construction professionals to create sustainable buildings that align with their vision and specific requirements.
The Timber Finance Initiative, Switzerland’s leading hub for timber investments, is excited to welcome CREE as a valued member. This collaboration aims to establish modern timber construction as a scalable and sustainable alternative to conventional, emissions-intensive building methods. By leveraging CREE Buildings’ expertise, the Timber Finance Initiative seeks to unlock the full climate potential of timber construction and promote the use of sustainable timber from renewable sources.
Capitalizing on Timber Construction Opportunities
Timber is rapidly gaining recognition as a vital carbon sink and a leading technology for achieving negative emissions. By utilizing timber as a renewable, CO2-negative building material, the carbon footprint of buildings can be significantly reduced. To facilitate the knowledge transfer necessary for accelerating investment in the modern forest and timber industry, the Timber Finance Initiative develops and provides financial products, carbon credits, whitepapers, and advisory services. By bridging the knowledge gap in financial and CO2 markets, this collaboration will provide investors access to exciting investment opportunities within the timber industry.
In the future, CO2 certificates for timber buildings can be used to access the voluntary CO2 market. In this way, together, we create an important financial incentive for institutional builders to construct their buildings with timber from sustainable sources.
This membership represents a powerful alliance committed to transforming the construction industry. Together, we strive to create a built environment that not only meets the highest environmental standards but also contributes to a thriving, greener planet.
