Climate Resilience Plan

Stora Enso has introduced a climate resilience plan detailing its strategy for climate action, target achievement, and business readiness for future climate scenarios. The plan forecasts emission reductions across all scopes by 2030.

Emission Reduction Targets

By the end of 2025, the Group's Scope 1 and 2 CO2e emissions were reduced by 61%, and Scope 3 emissions by 38% compared to the 2019 base year. The goal is to achieve a 50% reduction in all scopes by 2030.
