Net positive impact on biodiversity
UPM’s approach comprises a set of biodiversity indicators contributing to the positive development of living conditions for flora and fauna on a specified land area. There’s currently no scientific way to evaluate whether the total impact on biodiversity is positive or negative. Thus, UPM proceeds towards “net-positivity” having more indicators with positive than negative development, with the single indicators compared to previous year.
Comment: This is a UPM-specific term and definition as long as no international standard provides a commonly accepted definition.
