Built By Nature

Built by Nature is a network and accelerator fund set up by Laudes Foundation to accelerate the timber building transformation in Europe. Our vision is for our built environment to work in unison with nature, and our mission is to accelerate the timber building transformation: radically reducing embodied carbon; safely storing carbon in our buildings for generations; and sequestering carbon by championing forest stewardship and regeneration. We do this by supercharging the timber building ecosystem through the Built by Nature network and Accelerator Fund, connecting leading frontrunners, enabling them to unleash their innovation power and put in place empowering policies, and amplifying inspiring stories of ground-breaking timber projects and solutions.
