Who we are

Stora Enso is a global leader in renewable materials, creating wood fiber‑based packaging solutions that replace fossil-based materials and accelerate the transition to a circular bioeconomy. Through innovation, material expertise, and close customer collaboration, we deliver quality packing designed to perform in everyday use and demanding applications.

Redefining what materials can do

A package arrives.

A product is protected.

A building stands for decades, even centuries.

Most of the time, we don’t think about the materials behind these moments. But they shape how the world works, how goods move, how industries operate, and how resources are used.

And today, they need to do more. At Stora Enso, we are a global leader in renewable materials. We develop packaging materials and other solutions that replace fossil-based materials with renewable alternatives and enable a more circular way to think about resources.

Wood-based fibers are at the core of this transformation. As a renewable raw material, they allow us to create high-performance solutions that work in everyday life while staying in use for longer through recycling.

What we do

We design and deliver renewable packaging materials and solutions that perform in demanding, real-world applications. As a reliable and trusted partner, we work closely with our customers to develop solutions that combine performance, efficiency, and reduced environmental impact. From fresh and recycled fibers to industrial-scale production, we support every step, from material to finished solution.

By combining material expertise with customer collaboration, we create solutions that are not only good on paper but competitive, scalable, and ready for real use.

Our purpose and values

Our purpose is clear: to do good for people and the planet and to replace non-renewable materials with renewable alternatives.

This is how we accelerate the transition to a circular bioeconomy.

This purpose is not separate from our business. It defines how we grow, how we innovate, and how we make decisions.

It also reflects a broader vision, where the materials we choose today will shape the future of industries, supply chains, and society.

Innovation and industry leadership

The way materials are used is changing fast. Demand for renewable materials and recyclable, resource-efficient solutions is growing, driven by regulation, market expectations, and the need to reduce environmental impact.

At Stora Enso, we are at the centre of this shift. Together with our customers and partners, we co-create solutions that rethink how materials are designed, produced, and used. By combining innovation with deep material expertise, we help industries move from fossil-based systems to circular ones.

Because real change doesn’t happen alone. It happens in partnership.

Working sustainably

Sustainability is embedded across everything we do.

From forest management to finished products, we focus on:

  • Traceable and responsible sourcing
  • Efficient use of materials and energy
  • Reducing emissions and environmental impact
  • Supporting people and communities

Most of our forests are certified according to recognised standards, and the majority of our products are designed to be recyclable.

Because sustainability is not a single initiative, it is part of how we operate every day.

Looking ahead

The world is changing and so are the expectations placed on materials, industries, and companies. Climate change, resource scarcity, and evolving consumer demands are driving the need for smarter, more efficient solutions.

We believe renewable materials are a part of that answer. And while our story stretches back more than 700 years, our focus is firmly on what comes next.
