Budget planning for forest management: its importance and effectiveness for companies

The significant impact financial preparedness has on forest management success

Budget planning for forest management is part of the financial plan that projects the company’s income and expenses for future business periods. Adapting to each scenario can be dynamic and flexible, but it must also have well-defined goals. Whatever model is adopted, the budget will be the support tool for management decision-making. When it comes to forest management, financial planning is also included in the ESG pillars, which focus on making the business more profitable and, consequently, more financially sustainable. The Sustainability in the Leadership Agenda study, carried out by the technology company SAP, points this out. Find out the importance and effectiveness of budgeting for companies!

Why do budget planning?

Planning the company’s annual budget is one of the most effective tools for managing the business’s cash flow. In addition to being an effective practice for predicting future scenarios and solving problems. However, the purpose of budget planning goes beyond establishing spending ceilings. The practice also provides advantages, such as:

• Avoid spending capital that the company does not have;
• Ensure team develops a sense of ownership and better coordinates strategies;
• Assist with pricing planning;
• Facilitate obtaining credit for expansion projects.

How does budget planning work?

There is no pre-established standard for financial planning, but in general, it is interesting to define some steps. Check out what they are!

• Budget goals;
• The period to be considered;
• Investment projection and possible expenses over a set period;
• Fixed and variable expenses;
• Monthly and annual taxes;
• Emergency reserve.

Budget planning can be divided by themes or areas of the company to facilitate goals. The idea is to outline different scenarios for the business.

For companies in the forestry sector, it is essential to provide a tool in their investments capable of managing all forestry processes, as this practice speeds up activities and optimizes the management routine. To achieve this, it is necessary to carry out quality forestry management, which automates and integrates data from forestry operations into a single system. This is what the INFLOR solution promotes to ensure the continuous improvement of your forestry operations.
