Integrating pulp production

Stora Enso uses pulp produced within the Group whenever possible. When external pulp is needed, Stora Enso expects suppliers to comply with the requirement that fibre must come from sustainable sources.

Stora Enso dissolved its Pulp Division in 2001 by reallocating non-integrated pulp mills to other divisions. This restructuring did not affect the operations of the pulp mills, and the Group's pulp balance also remains intact. Pulp production is now better integrated into Stora Enso's paper and board business, with transportation solutions optimised and different pulp grades more efficiently directed to end-users.

Pulp Sales continues its activities as before. A Pulp Competence Centre was established in the Packaging Boards Division.
