Stora Enso partners with IUCN to develop framework for net positive impact on biodiversity

Stora Enso announced that it has partnered with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) on a framework to verify net positive impact on biodiversity. The framework, employing science, technology, and data, will focus on developing a framework to measure and disclose net positive biodiversity impact. The complete framework is expected to be launched during autumn 2025.

“The world is facing a great sense of urgency to halt biodiversity loss, and the forest sector has a central role in making this happen. True to our sustainability leadership ambition, we want to accelerate the pace of change through global collaboration and shared goals. Our new partnership with IUCN is an opportunity to implement new ways of working that will help guide our commitment towards a net positive biodiversity impact,” says Hans Sohlström, President and CEO of Stora Enso, in a release.
