 Stora Enso was ranked the most sustainable forest and paper company by Dow Jones in 2002, while the EU also commended the Group for systematically implementing EMAS.
Stora Enso had the highest total score among paper and forest companies in the Dow Jones sustainability indexes, DJSI World and DJSI STOXX. Stora Enso has been included in these indexes ever since their launch. The Group's unreserved commitment to environmental management systems has always been mirrored in Stora Enso's DJSI profile. The greatest improvement in the Group's profile compared to the previous year's results concerns the social dimension of sustainability.
DJSI World covers 300 companies from 23 countries,
assessing economic, environmental and social aspects
of the 2 500 largest companies in the Dow Jones Global
Index. The pan-European sustainability benchmark DJSI
STOXX includes 180 companies from 14 countries.
EU praise for commitment to EMAS
The European Union has commended Stora Enso for
showing early commitment to EMAS (the EU's Eco-Management
and Audit Scheme), as well as for the Group's systematic
implementation of the scheme. The EU also thanked
Stora Enso Timber for pioneering web-based EMAS reports,
after Stora Enso Timber's Nordic sawmills published
web-based reports in June 2002.
Stora Enso's commitment to environmental management systems ensures that each unit focuses on continuous improvements related to the most significant environmental issues. Many units have already been certified for as long as 5-6 years. During this period, environmental loads have consistently decreased, in spite of increases in production (see trends). There is a clear linkage between the systematic application of environmental management and concrete results.
