Business development
Our Draft Sustainable Growth and Value Strategy 2027-2031 - choose 'Business development'.
As a quick reminder, our draft key commitments for 2027-2031 are:
- Innovation: We will explore new and innovative ideas for our business, specifically for green finance, asset management, and commercial business process improvements.
- Woodland creation growth: We will develop an action plan to address recommendations made from a forestry deep-dive in Wales: Trees and Timber Deep Dive | GOV.WALES and opportunities to grow the Welsh Government Woodland Estate, aligned with the Welsh Government’s ambitions for the forest network.
- Sustainable land use: We will support key stakeholders in identifying new delivery mechanisms to increase the area and improve the quality of the Welsh Government Woodland estate. We will achieve this by contributing to a rural land map and land-use plan as well as clarifying our role in enabling sustainable commercial development opportunities on land in our care.
- Case studies as demonstrators: We will develop and publish case studies of our work to encourage and promote innovation, evidence outcomes achieved and lessons learnt and use these to build confidence and develop future opportunities.
- Pilot schemes & co-funding: We will develop pilots for innovative approaches to the management of the Welsh Government Woodland Estate and National Nature Reserves. We will also invite proposals from others to collaborate and develop a template for funding mechanisms between the public and private sector.
- Investment appraisal: We will create financial investment appraisal tools to support our decision making in investment and new funding opportunities.
