Anders Enetjärn, Ecogain's founder, has been named one of Sweden's 101 most influential people in sustainability. Ecogain's collaborative project CLIMB is among those recognized in the citation.

- "I am so happy that CLIMB is getting this recognition. With this tool, biodiversity is moving into business," says Anders Enetjärn.

Every year, Aktuell Hållbarhet ranks people and presents a list of Sweden's 101 most powerful people in sustainability. Anders Enetjärn, who has been on the list before, is ranked 40th this year. 

 - CLIMB is truly a breakthrough, which is why I am so happy that the tool is being recognized. Just a few years ago, nature was considered immeasurable. As a result, nature was an externality in all investment calculations. With CLIMB, biodiversity is moving into business," says Anders Enetjärn.

"The potential to expand the use of CLIMB is huge!"

Launched in 2023, CLIMB is a tool for calculating, valuing and compensating for biodiversity. It is designed to help companies reduce their negative impact on nature. Ecogain has developed the model together with several major players in Swedish industry, with the support of Swedish Mining Innovation.

- Businesses and others are incentivized to be frugal with nature. This could be a norm change in the business world. Now we just need to make sure that CLIMBs become new KPIs for biodiversity performance, in many types of industries. The potential to expand the use of CLIMB is huge!" says Anders Enetjärn.
