Do more for the world and society
To stay within the planetary boundaries, it’s essential to not just reduce impacts but focus on positive environmental and social effects.
Stora Enso aims to drive a regenerative future with renewable solutions and innovation for a materials transition that can bring broader gains. Our business is founded in sustainable forest management and wood-based products that store carbon alongside resource and energy efficient production to reduce emissions. From forest to product, we are working to support a thriving eco-system, circular and transparent material flows, as well as solutions that are positive for climate and biodiversity.
Climate
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stresses the urgency of ambitious, near-term climate action and accelerated measures to limit global warming to 1.5°c. Mitigation and adaptation efforts are imperative, necessitating systemic change across sectors. Stora Enso is committed to reducing emissions in its own production and across the value chain.
Biodiversity
Biodiversity is fundamental to the planet and people, supporting functioning ecosystems. It is impacted by human interventions and interlinked with climate change. Sustainable forest management promotes healthy, resilient, and growing forests, which bind carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and preserve biodiversity. At the same time, forests must be able to adapt to a changing climate.
Circularity
Climate change, biodiversity loss, and resource scarcity underscore the urgency of transitioning from a linear to a circular bioeconomy. Active collaboration is needed to advance circularity as well as collection and recycling infrastructure. With this, Stora Enso’s fiber-based products serve to capture carbon, and can be reused and recycled, or used for energy at the end of their lifecycle.
