About Stora Enso
Stora Enso develops and produces solutions based on wood and biomass for a range of industries and applications worldwide, leading in the bio-economy and supporting our customers in meeting the demand for renewable eco-friendly products.
Building on our heritage and know-how in forestry and trees, Stora Enso is committed to the development of products and technologies based on renewable materials. Our products, in many cases, provide a low-carbon alternative to products made from fossil-based or other non-renewable materials.
Today our solutions are found in such segments as building, retail, food and beverages, manufacturing, publishing, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, confectionery, hygiene, and textiles. We believe that anything that is made from fossil-based materials today can be made from trees tomorrow.
Working for a Greener World
Overall, we aim to be a leader in our field, preferred partner, and a respected member in the societies where we work, bringing value to our customers, employees, investors, suppliers, and other stakeholders.
Responsibility for nature and the communities where we operate underpin our approach in every aspect. We work to ensure that forests and plantations are sustainably managed and that every effort is made to ensure more trees are grown than harvested. Inside and out, we are constantly looking for ways to improve processes, save energy, and use raw material as efficiently as possible.
Stora Enso has some 26 000 employees in more than 30 countries and is publicly listed on the Helsinki and Stockholm stock exchanges. Our sales in 2018 were EUR 10.5 billion, with an operational EBIT of EUR 1.3 billion.

Radical Supply Chain Transparency with Stora Enso
In addition to wood and fiber, Stora Enso sources other raw materials, products, and services from over 20,000 suppliers and contractors globally. We have strict sustainability requirements for all of them and we continuously build our deep knowledge of these value chains’ sustainability opportunities and challenges. We want to be pioneers in communicating this complex and fascinating supplier base to our customers as openly as possible. Could your solution help us become radically transparent in sourcing and supply chain management?
Virtual Lab for Circularity Co-Creation with Stora Enso
Many of Stora Enso’s customers have defined sustainability targets, but find it difficult to understand how improvements in packaging development, design and material choices impact achieving these targets. We want to develop a modular-based digital service connected to our business processes and assets to structure and increase the transparency of co-creation work, to create impactful value communication, and to eventually increase quality and quantity of co-creation to support customers in circular ambitions.
Ensuring Product Authenticity with Packaging by Stora Enso
Stora Enso, a leader in renewable packaging, wants to support its e-commerce and retail customers by preventing counterfeit and tampering with the help of innovative packaging solutions. Retail brands have a strong need to protect the integrity of their products, but currently lack the tools to effectively detect the tampering or counterfeit of their products. We want to offer robust and scalable smart packaging solutions that efficiently tackle the issue, and eventually ensure that our client’s products are not copied or altered while shipped inside our packaging.
New Wood Products with Stora Enso
Today we can already build higher, stronger and lighter buildings than ever before with a raw material that keeps growing back - wood.
