Wood
Environmental and quality management systems are useful tools for tracing and documenting the origin of fibre. In wood procurement areas where no other verified systems are in place, Stora Enso's internal documentation system is used. Chain-of-custody verification for wood flows from certified forests is another important method, with the Swedish FSC-approach being a prominent example (see table). Chain-of-custody verification can also be integrated into the organisation's Quality Management System, as is the case with all Finnish and Russian wood flows. The whole system is verified by a third party, and in Finland the wood comes from PEFC-certified forests.
Stora Enso is also working actively to improve the quality of information concerning the origin of fibre in the Baltic Countries, aiming to increase the awareness and understanding of local and global environmental issues.
In the US, all pulpwood can be traced back to its delivery location, which in most cases is where the wood is harvested.
