 New complementary traceability guidelines have been adopted by Stora Enso Skog, Stora Enso Metsä, Stora Enso Forest Central Europe and Stora Enso Timber's wood procurement operations. The guidelines set out a framework for regional and national systems. Traceability systems cover fibre origin data from the cutting area all the way until the fibre first enters Stora Enso's possession, at a terminal, mill or transport point.
The guidelines set out three distinct operational phases for traceability systems:
- contract clauses,
- the registration and storage of wood origin data,
- and audits to verify the whole system.
An efficiently operating wood traceability system improves awareness of the importance of environmental and social values amongst all stakeholders right along the wood supply chain. One significant example of how this work has been done in 2002 is Stora Enso Skog's traceability system, which now covers all the wood coming into Stora Enso's possession in the Baltic Countries. Meanwhile, Stora Enso Timber and Stora Enso Forest Central Europe have also introduced traceability systems, which will be developed for eventual external certification.
