BAM joins the Forum “The route to promote issues and issuers in the capital markets”.

Last Thursday, July 6th, Jorge Cantuarias, founder and CEO of BAM, was invited as a speaker at the forum “The route to promote issues and issuers in the capital market” organized by PROCAPITALES to share successful experiences of financing achieved through the capital market.

The event took place in the SURA auditorium with the participation of the Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores (SMV) and other relevant market players. The block where Jorge Cantuarias (BAM) was presented was moderated by Gerardo Gonzales and counted with the participation of Alvaro Zalles from Mercado Alternativo de Valores (MAV), Mario Salazar from Chavín and Felipe Lega from Deloitte in Colombia.

As the first forestry company in Peru to have entered the Lima Stock Exchange (BVL) and successfully place debt instruments (thematic) to finance its operations, Jorge Cantuarias was invited to share the company’s trajectory (+17 years) and, specifically, his experience in the local market.

“We prepared the company to meet the highest corporate standards and listed on the BVL in 2020. To date we have placed more than US$ 35 million, which has allowed us to scale our reforestation and conservation projects (…). Achieving the prestigious Climate Bond Initiative (CBI) standard allowed us to have a greater market entry” commented Jorge Cantuarias, CEO of BAM.

In compliance with the highest standards of corporate governance, BAM is the first forestry company in Peru to enter the Lima Stock Exchange (BVL). BAM is also the first forestry company in Latin America to achieve CBI Certification. BAM’s short and long-term instruments have “sustainable” and/or “green” certifications, validating the positive impact on the use of funds destined to scale up the company’s operations (restoration, reforestation and conservation).
