Who we are
Our Background
Fairventures Worldwide gGmbH was established in 2013 by executive director Johannes Schwegler and a team of like-minded people. The objective: finding sustainable economic solutions for global value chains that have a positive impact on the environment and the livelihoods of people connected to the resource production.Built on almost two decades of experience and relationships with people from Central Kalimantan, a project around reforestation and the timber value chain called “One million trees” was launched in 2014. Over the course of five years, the program attracted many partners, expanded to new areas and value chains and fulfilled the mission statement of one million trees planted. The experience gained during “One million trees” as well as the close ties built with our partners are the foundation for Fairventures Social Forestry´s business model.
