Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Forestry Strategic Vision: Coillte

Mr. Mark Carlin:

It is not an offsetting scheme. It is public good. It is corporate social responsibility, CSR, ESG or whatever term one wishes to put on it. The organisation is saying it will give the fund money and the fund then buys land and creates a native woodland. The organisation can say it has done that with regard to its natural capital accounting. It is not an offsetting scheme nor do we wish it to be so.
