In early summer, Boliden, Cementa, LKAB, SCA, Skellefteå Kraft, Specialfastigheter, Svenska Kraftnät, Vattenfall and Ecogain joined forces in a joint initiative to develop a standardized method for measuring biodiversity in land-use change. Now, in the first phase of the comprehensive project, intensive work is underway to identify the needs of companies and stakeholders for a standardized tool.
The feeling from the last meeting is incredibly positive; there is a huge commitment and drive within the project and it will be exciting to eventually present the results from the initial phase
- Maja Sundqvist, Project Manager Ecogain.
The next step will be to make concrete proposals for tools to be developed. Among other things, the tool will facilitate permitting processes by making them more predictable for businesses, authorities and other stakeholders.
