The document discusses sustainable forest management and packaging. It states that Stora Enso ensures sustainable forestry by using only legally sourced, traceable wood from responsible forest management. All of Stora Enso's fibers are FSC certified or FSC controlled wood. The document also discusses measures to improve biodiversity, recycling efforts, and Stora Enso's targets to reduce environmental impacts like emissions and waste.

1. The world needs a new approach to materials

3. Responsible forest management in Stora Enso
• All fibre used by Stora Enso Packaging is legal,
traceable, and sourced from responsible forestry
• Wood, our main raw material, is a renewable material if
managed properly
• Sustainable forestry balances economic, social and
environmental concerns to meet today’s needs while
guaranteeing forests and wood for future generations
To demonstrate responsible forest management:
• 100% FSC Chain-of-Custody certified fibre supply
• 100% of our fibres are either FSC Controlled Wood or
certified

4. What defines sustainable forest management
• Binding
– Forestry and environmental legislation
– Other national regulations
– Some EU regulations
– International agreements (for instance Convention on Biodiversity, CITES
etc)
• Voluntary
– Forest certification
– Company policies and guidelines that exceed the legal requirements
• Stora Enso Principles for Sustainable Wood and Fibre
• Procurement and Land Management
• Forest owner’s own management objectives
• Local conditions
– Sustainable forest management can mean different practices in different
countries/regions

5. Chain-of-Custody (CoC) certification
The link from the forest to the end consumer
• The first link in the chain is always the Forest certification (FOR)
• followed by one or several further links in the “Chain-of-Custody” (CoC).
• Everyone who “takes over ownership” has to be certified (incl. converters etc.)

6. Sustainable forest management
Focus on biodiversity
• Ecological landscape planning
• Identification and protection of key habitats
• Protection of rare, threatened and endangered species and their habitats
• Protection of water courses and riparian zones
• Fire management
• Retention of trees and groups of trees on harvesting sites
• Protection of cultural sites
• Promotion of environmentally friendly non-chemical methods of pest
management
• Avoidance of oil spills and waste disposals
• Natural regeneration of forests
• Use of exotic species to be carefully tested and monitored
• No or very limited forest conversion

7. Measures to improve biodiversity in northern Europe
• Boreal forest (Finland, Northern Sweden)
– Restore fire regimes and fire-succession habitats
– Increase amount of deadwood, large trees and late succession
stage
– Increase proportion of deciduous tree species
– Promote management practices that maintain or increase
continuous tree cover
• Hemiboreal forest and nemoral coniferous and mixed
broadleaved coniferous forest (Southern Sweden)
– Increase amount of deadwood, large trees and late succession
stages
– Preserve veteran trees
– Decrease nitrogen deposition
– Promote management practices that maintain or increase
continuous tree cover
– Increase protected forest area (with no or minimal intervention)

8. Stora Enso’s sustainable plantation management
Southern hemisphere – Brazil, Uruguay, China
• Sustainable plantations are established on
– Degraded lands
– Converted from other intensive land uses
– Not converted from natural forests
• Land ownership and tenure rights are important
• Local livelihoods and socio-economic needs
– Planning with local communities and authorities
– Engage local people
• Native ecosystems and vegetation
– Ecological survey, mapping & management
– Restoration of native forest
• Ecologically, socially and culturally important areas are
identified and protected

9. Photosynthesis
• Plants absorb and transform CO2,
water and sunlight into carbohydrates
(cellulose) and oxygen
• Young trees absorb more CO2 than
old ones
• For decaying trees, the process is
reversed

10. What does resource efficiency mean?
• EU flagship initiative under the 2020 strategy
• Decouple economic growth from resource use (land, material and energy) and
pollution (water, air and ground)
• Which indicators to be used are still unclear, but is likely to reflect the areas above
• Light weighting
– Stora Enso actively develops packaging board with lighter and stiffer
characteristics to enable more packaging from the same amount of wood
• Energy efficiency
– High share of bio-fuels used at our mills, e.g. Imatra mills: 84% and Skoghall mill:
91% (in 2010)
– Continuous energy efficiency measures to reduce total energy need
• Reduce emissions to water, air and ground

11. Recycling
• The essential requirements of the Packaging and Packaging Waste directive (PPWD) sets design
requirements on packaging, incl. material optimization and minimization of harmful substances
• Carton packaging can easily be material recycled, or energy recovered according to the CEN
standards under the PPWD directive. Some grades are also compostable according to the same
standards
• Efficiency of recycling depends on the infrastructure of national collection schemes and recovery
systems
• Recycled fibre is a good raw material for new fibre based products, not waste
• Stora Enso actively promotes and participates in recycling efforts and support the usage of
recovered paper
• Stora Enso Barcelona operates a revolutionary UBC recycling facility, where fibre and aluminium is
material recycled and polymers are incinerated to generate heat to the mill

12. Waste prevention
• Packaging is essential to enable transportation of products from producer to
consumer
• A rightly designed packaging protects the product within, and thereby saves the
far more valuable product from being damaged and thus wasted

13. Stora Enso’s environmental targets
Air
• Reduce SO2 emissions by 30% by 2013 from 2007 levels
• Reduce fossil CO2 emissions by 20% by 2020 from 2006 levels
Water
• Reduce process water discharge by 10% by 2013 from the baseline year 2005
• Reduce Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) by 10% by 2013 from 2007 levels
Soil
