The faces behind ForestFinance

Harry Assenmacher
Harry Assenmacher
Founder

"We build forests. Because many trees by themselves do not make a forest, and forests are the only safe way to protect the climate, ensure biodiversity and provide a healthy habitat - for people, too.



Christiane Pindur

"As Managing Director of ForestFinance, I am proud that our team has continuously convinced its customers with good work and sustainable ecological projects since 1995. Transparency towards our investors is particularly important to us and a decisive factor for the further growth of ForestFinance."

"As part of the online editorial team, my job is to make stories and news from our forests a digital experience for customers and interested parties - whether on the website, in the blog or newsletter. I am very happy to be part of a team that works together creatively on sustainable change and always has something new in store for me."

"I believe that the forest is doing great work. Our reforestations are of great importance to local people and help families to stay together and earn a living under fair conditions."

"The term sustainability originated in forests - this is my incentive to continue making forests and agroforests in a sustainable way with committed partners."

Sales

"In 1996, I was in Panama for the first time. There I saw cattle pastures up to the horizon and the first reforestations of ForestFinance. 11 years later, I was back and saw that the small trees had become a mighty, biodiverse forest. That's when it clicked. Since then, my goal has been to make as many forests as I can!"

"Since 2011, I have been the project manager of the ForestFinance cocoa projects in my home country Peru. What I like about my work is the variety of my tasks, that I make my contribution to environmental protection and that I even support my fellow countrymen with secure jobs."

"I have always loved the forest and tried to protect it. Since 2019, I am not only protecting forests, but also helping to build them! In customer service, I inform customers about everything there is to know about our forests and I am happy to be part of this team and this concept every day."

"The challenge is to integrate the cocoa trees into the forests with their native tree species, while preserving the flora and fauna, as well as creating favourable conditions for the fine flavoured cocoa. I believe in cocoa and the sustainable concept behind it at ForestFinance!"

Project Management Communications

"I grew up happily among meadows, forests and fields. Unfortunately, there is not much of that anymore, because motorways and sprawling industries take up space. It motivates me to be part of a social change that stands for a greener and healthier future."

Nicolas Rieger

"I enjoy reconciling technology and digitalisation on the one hand, and sustainability and ecological standards on the other. This is a new challenge for me every day, which means that I never get bored at ForestFinance.
