Why did Masisa join the Chicago Climate Exchange?
Basically because Masisa has committed itself to address the climate change issue with material actions that will help mitigate its effects. The inclusion in the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) is part of this initiative and I see it as a clear business opportunity for the company, since it is within our forest expansion plan, it drives us to continuous improvement in terms of energetic efficiency and helps us participate in the global carbon credit market. All this, according to Masisa’s long-term business strategy and vision It is worth pointing out that due to the nature of our business, Masisa is an active player in the solution of the problem. Forests capture carbon from the atmosphere, and wood is a renewable and highly recyclable raw material, therefore, our products have a highly positive effect compared to other construction materials.
