Our positive impact on society

With some 26 000 employees, Stora Enso has operations in over 30 countries globally – including mills, corporate offices, and sales offices. In many locations, we are a major employer, tax-payer, and partner for local entrepreneurs, and our presence can have a significant impact on society. As a sustainable company, we want to reward our shareholders but not at the expense of the planet or other stakeholders.

Stora Enso engages with communities all over the world through its operations, sales and supply chains. Stora Enso has a range of positive financial, social, and environmental impacts on society, such as direct and indirect employment, taxes and dividends, and products providing renewable alternatives to non-renewable materials.
