Training of CSR unit implementation co-ordinators started in autumn 2004. The first training session was arranged for co-ordinators in units in Finland. The next training sessions have been lined up for units in Sweden, Central and Southern Europe and North America.

The first training session concentrated on increasing participants’ knowledge of Stora Enso’s CSR management approach, and giving the co-ordinators tools to start CSR implementation in their respective units. CSR co-ordinators oversee the CSR implementation process at unit level and are members of the Group-wide CSR Expert Network.

A toolkit full of best practices

An intranet-based CSR toolkit was launched to support unit implementation. The toolkit contains information on implementation objectives and the ambitions Stora Enso has related to CSR issues. The toolkit also provides assistance on how to identify and prioritise CSR aspects and prepare action plans for units. Experiences and materials from all the pilot units are available in the toolkit, as well as training materials and information on existing CSR indicators.
