I don't really have any major moral concerns about my investments, but that would be a nogo for me. I originally come from a farming/forestry background and there's an old sign hanging in our old farmhouse. What you inherit from your parents, own it to honor the land and its roots, so it will honor you.
Speculating with the lungs of our earth just to squeeze out a little profit is a nogo for me

OK with me everything possible is a no-go but forest as a usable area does not mean that you pick up without end to destroy the so-called lungs of the earth, you just have to see what they do and I have not noticed anything negative for environmental skeptics see my post does not refer to the fact that the company wants to maximize their timber yields exactly other points are important to them what also has more margin.

@Diphunter I understood that they were buying woodland in promising locations to convert it into building/industrial land.

@Diphunter maximize the Hbu business. It's written there 😉 Converting agricultural/forestry land into more profitable commercial/industrial land and I find that morally questionable.

@Hotte1909 So they now own land the size of Thuringia, which is already a lot and is mainly farmland, so there is no need to acquire more land, you can hardly use it all for housing, as they are strategically looking at whether it is worth reforesting in certain places because the soil is also better or rather converting it for rural living, what you describe comes across as if they want to tar everything. By the way, it's also about absorbing CO2 in order to sell land to climate protection organizations. Finally, if a forest is not owned by anyone who manages it as you would prefer, I take it from the reactions, who then voluntarily plants new trees to maintain the so-called lungs... I think it's cool as an admixture and stay away from actual climate-damaging companies...

@Diphunter Forestry is a circular economy. And yes, every deforestation is followed by reforestation, which is completely normal and every forest belongs to someone, even if it is not managed. What the company is doing is pure speculation and happens all over the world. Investors buy farmland and try to get the maximum profit out of it. I am not condemning anyone who invests in such companies and have merely expressed my opinion for the company here.
