Stora Enso’s joint venture Veracel in Brazil received Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification for its tree plantations on 13 March 2008. An FSC chain-of-custody certificate was simultaneously granted to the mill. Both certificates are valid for five years.
All pulp produced at Veracel pulp mill will now be FSC-certified, as of 14 March 2008. Stora Enso’s share of the pulp is shipped to various Stora Enso mills around the world.
Veracel’s plantations are now certified according to two forest management systems – CERFLOR, which is endorsed by the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes (PEFC), and FSC.
