Sustainability as Stora Enso sees it 

Stora Enso uses sustainability as the umbrella term to describe responsible business operations that include economic, environmental and social responsibility.

The challenge in sustainability management is to effectively balance these three aspects of sustainability in decision-making.

To succeed in sustainability, Stora Enso needs to build accountability into the way it works, thus creating long-term value on an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable basis. The Group does this by striving to be transparent, and open to dialogue with all stakeholders.

Stora Enso’s corporate strategy is increasingly focusing on the new growth markets of Russia, China and South America. This has a direct impact on the Group's sustainability focus, and increasing amounts of the Group's resources are being used to address sustainability challenges in these areas.
