Public policy

With a presence in more than 50 countries, Stora Enso aims to be a constructive partner to policymakers, governments, regulators, and legislators to promote a stable policy environment and the green transition. We work through relevant national, regional, and international trade associations and membership organisations. We continuously monitor, evaluate, and anticipate political decisions, public policy direction, and amended regulations in the areas that are of particular importance to our business and operations.

Stora Enso’s Corporate Affairs team also engages more directly with stakeholders to feed into regulatory and public policy that drives the green transition through innovation and economic growth. A regulatory framework that contributes to more sustainable solutions is key to our business, and environmental issues are high on our agenda. The key areas we engage on are climate change, biodiversity, and circularity.
