It is also innovative as its methodology establishes a minimum biodiversity conservation performance that shall be calculated in proportion to each organization impact. Finally, the organization shall quantitatively prove its voluntary biodiversity conservation results each year. In this sense, LIFE initiative promotes a mindset change to mainstream natural capital conservation in all business practices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a conceptual search for zero impact when analyzing several variables combined with voluntary compensation of unavoidable impacts,\u201d says Miguel Milano \u2013 president of LIFE Institute Board of Directors.<\/p>\n<p>LIFE Institute is responsible for the management and development of LIFE Certification system which is based on solid and renowned scientific criteria.

A crisis that is translated into climate change, threatens to ecosystems, biodiversity loss, water, air and soil pollution, depletion of natural resources, among others.
