From long-term planting to value creation
Tree Partner Solutions enters a new phase with a strengthened Board and aligned ownership
After nearly two decades of building sustainable forestry assets in East Africa, Tree Partner Solutions is preparing for the next chapter. With a strengthened ownership base and a newly appointed Board, the Company is positioning itself to move from long-term asset development towards harvesting, commercialisation and value realisation.
Extraordinary General Meeting – 19 December 2025
New Board and strengthened ownership create a unified platform for the next phase
At the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 19 December 2025 in Gothenburg, Tree Partner Solutions AB (publ) (“TPS” or the “Company”) appointed a new Board of Directors. The changes mark an important step in strengthening the Company’s governance, ownership alignment and long-term strategic direction.
Two of the Company’s co-founders have increased their engagement and rejoined the Board following requests from several major shareholders and from Better Globe Forestry (BGF). Together with a strengthened ownership structure and the appointment of an external, independent Chair, this creates a unified and resilient shareholder base as the Company enters its next phase of development.
After nearly twenty years of building forestry assets in East Africa, TPS is now preparing for the gradual transition from planting and asset development to harvesting, commercialisation and value creation.
Focus of the new Board
The new Board will focus on investment, capitalisation of the business and strategic planning for the commercialisation of the Company’s raw materials, as well as future value-adding processes. The ambition is to strengthen the Company’s ability to realise the long-term value embedded in its forestry assets, while supporting BGF’s operational execution on the ground in East Africa.
Former interim CEO Andreas Forssell continues to play a key role in developing business strategies in Kenya and Uganda. He will lead the transition from planting to harvesting and value creation, working closely with BGF and the Company’s approximately twenty thousand partner farmers.
