Employee well-being and OHS
All Stora Enso employees are entitled to safe and healthy workplaces.
No employee shall be subject to any physical, psychological or sexual harassment, punishment or abuse.
Employee well-being and occupational health and safety (OHS) are seen as top priorities at Stora Enso. The vision is for Stora Enso to be a top performer and quality leader in occupational health and safety within the forest industry worldwide. The corporate policy is based on two strategic targets: All employees are healthy and capable of working to their full ability; and workplaces are accident- and work-related disease-free.
The Stora Enso Safety, Health and Security Management System has been designed as a practical tool for continuous improvement in these areas in all parts of the Group. The system is compatible with Stora Enso Excellence 2005 principles, international quality standards concerning safety, health, and security (e.g. OHSAS 18001, BS 8800, SCC), and ILO guidelines. So far Stora Enso has 36 safety, health, and security management system certificates granted by an accredited certification body, and corporate management strongly supports this process. See Stora Enso's health and safety management system certificates.
To implement OHS policies and meet management and employee expectations, Stora Enso's divisions have set their own division-specific OHS objectives. Individual mills and business units have launched unit-specific OHS programmes and initiatives, and established occupational safety targets.
