Stora Enso’s Principles for Corporate Social Responsibility were established at the end of 2001. The Group had already been working for many years with various CSR areas, such as Occupational Health and Safety, but the establishment of the CSR Principles nevertheless represented a starting point for the systematic integration of CSR into all Stora Enso’s operations.

After three years of work a lot of progress has been made, although in some respects Stora Enso is still in the early stages of this integration process, and is still exploring what forms systematic CSR management can take.

The whole CSR concept is indeed still evolving, and Stora Enso needs to continuously ensure that its approach is in line with the expectations of various stakeholders and international best practices.
