Sustainability at Stora Enso

Stora Enso’s purpose statement “Do good for people and the planet. Replace non-renewable materials with renewable products” underpins our belief that everything that can be made with fossil-based materials today can be made from a tree tomorrow, and highlights Stora Enso’s opportunity to contribute to a more sustainable future.

Steering our long-term direction and innovation is our goal to offer fully regenerative solutions by 2050 – products that remove more carbon than they emit and support biodiversity restoration.

We have set science-based targets for 2030 in three areas where we have the biggest impact and opportunities: climate change, biodiversity, and circularity. These ambitions stand on a foundation of conducting our business in a responsible manner.

Transformation towards a circular bioeconomy

Climate

Our climate action is based on sustainably managed forests, resource and energy efficient production, and products that provide low-carbon alternatives to non-renewable materials.

Biodiversity

Sustainable forest management safeguards forest health and productivity, and protects and enhances biodiversity – whilst securing the long-term availability of renewable resources.

Circularity

The world needs materials that are both renewable and recyclable – a circular bioeconomy – to combat climate change, save natural resources, and minimise waste.

Forests, plantations and land use

Materials, residuals and waste

Sustainability agenda

We drive the green transition by accelerating our growth in renewable packaging, sustainable building solutions, and biomaterials innovations, while staying within the planetary boundaries. Sustainability is an integral part of Stora Enso's strategy and corporate governance.
