Stora Enso’s harvesting 2023 saw a boost in deadwood creation, revealed by biodiversity impact indicators
Different biodiversity actions are some of the most important elements in everyday forestry. To ensure continuous improvement, Stora Enso’s six biodiversity impact indicators monitor the quality of harvesting operations in Finland, Sweden, and the Baltics annually. The indicators portray how well we mitigate negative impacts as well as maintain and promote biodiversity values in harvesting. Thus, the indicators provide feedback for continuous operational development. The results from 2023 show stable performance in water protection as well as improvements in high stump creation and tree retention.
