A new study from Lund University reveals that only 9% of the world's largest companies in biodiversity-impacting sectors utilize biodiversity indicators. The research highlights that different indicators can yield conflicting results and provides seven recommendations for better application. Key findings include the low adoption rate among major corporations and the need for standardized approaches to ensure consistent sustainability decisions.

Key points

• Only 9% of the world's largest companies in sectors with major biodiversity impacts use biodiversity indicators, according to a new study from Lund University.
• Different indicators can lead to different conclusions, and the study provides seven recommendations for how companies should be used effectively.

Context and limitations

The study covers only the world's largest companies in sectors with major biodiversity impacts. Data collection and reporting periods are not specified, limiting the ability to assess trends over time. The seven recommendations are presented as suggestions rather than established standards, and the study does not include data on smaller or less significant companies.
