Introduction
Please give a general description and introduction to your organization.
Stora Enso is the global rethinker of the paper, biomaterials, wood products and packaging industry. We always rethink the old and expand to the new to offer our
customers innovative solutions based on renewable materials. The Group has some 28 000 employees in more than 35 countries worldwide, and is a publicly traded
company listed in Helsinki and Stockholm. Our customers include publishers, printing houses and paper merchants, as well as the packaging, joinery and
construction industries. Our annual production capacity is 5.4 million tonnes of chemical pulp, 11.7 million tonnes of paper and board, 1.3 billion square metres of
corrugated packaging and 5.6 million cubic metres of sawn wood products, including 2.9 million cubic metres of value added products. Our sales in 2013 were EUR
10.5 billion, with an operational EBIT of EUR 578 million.
Stora Enso uses and develops its expertise in renewable materials to meet the needs of its customers and many of today’s global raw material challenges. Our
products provide a climate-friendly alternative to many products made from competing non-renewable materials, and have a smaller carbon footprint. Our solutions
based on wood therefore have wide-reaching benefits for us as a business, for people and for the planet. Being responsible and fulfilling our corporate purpose –
‘doing good for the people and the planet’ – underpins our thinking and our approach to every aspect of doing business.
Stora Enso’s wider business strategy is to achieve a transformation from a European pulp and paper company into a value-creating renewable materials company
focusing on growth markets. We will focus more on growth markets in Asia, especially China, and Latin America, fibre-based packaging, plantation-based pulp and
competitive paper grades. As the core of Stora Enso’s business is our aim to replace non-renewable materials with products and solutions based on renewable
materials. Fibre-based packaging offers steady long-term growth in most segments and has vast innovation potential, offering sustainable new solutions for our
customers. Plantation-based pulp allows us to secure low-cost fibre for production. Our wood-based solutions and products manufactured on a large industrial scale
help our customers in the construction industry and society at large to reduce CO2 emissions.
Global Responsibility and Ethics are emphasised throughout Stora Enso’s corporate governance, starting from our Board of Directors and its Global Responsibility
and Ethics Committee, the CEO and our Group Leadership Team. Our CEO and Group Leadership Team (GLT) are ultimately responsible for Stora Enso’s
strategies on Global Responsibility and Ethics, and related Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and policies, which include climate change mitigation and the Group’s
CO2 performance. Our CEO and GLT also monitor and assess their implementation.
Everyday sustainability issues are handled by Stora Enso’s divisions which are responsible for the operational management of responsibility issues, with the support
of the Global Responsibility corporate function, the Global Ethics and Compliance function, and the Global People and Organisation function. Global responsibility
issues are additionally monitored by the Group’s Global Responsibility Council, whose members come from divisions and key corporate functions. The role of the
Global Responsibility Council is to develop, support and follow up Stora Enso’s Global Responsibility strategy, and ensure that policies, guidelines and targets on
Global Responsibility are duly realised.

CC1.1
Where is the highest level of direct responsibility for climate change within your organization?
Individual/Sub-set of the Board or other committee appointed by the Board
CC1.1a
Please identify the position of the individual or name of the committee with this responsibility
The Global Responsibility and Ethics committee of Stora Enso Board of Directors regularly reviews our Global Responsibility strategy and oversees its
implementation, in accordance with Stora Enso’s corporate governance. Our Group Leadership Team (GLT) holds responsibility for our overall business strategy
which is approved by our Board of Directors. The GLT is responsible for sustainability issues, including climate change, and our Global Responsibility strategy.
Sustainability issues, of which Climate Change is an integral part, are frequently discussed at GLT meetings.
A key component of our Global Responsibility strategy is ‘Environment and Efficiency’, which sets Stora Enso's approach on strategic environment related priorities,
including tackling climate change. The performance against Stora Enso’s CO2 reduction target is reported quarterly to the GLT by Vice President, Environment of
Stora Enso’s Global Responsibility function. Our VP Environment continuously follows-up environmental regulations, policies and other best practices to evaluate
Stora Enso's climate change risks and opportunities. Periodic progress updates on large scale energy investments, energy efficiency investments at mills and of
outcomes of continuous improvement work, including energy efficiency, are provided to the GLT by Head of Group Energy Services, the Investment Working Group
and/or Business Areas depending on the case.
Stora Enso’s divisions and other key functions also have their own respective environmental specialists who coordinate environmental issues, manage
environmental liabilities, and cooperate with the respective environmental authorities, federations and lobbying organisations.

CC2.1b
Please describe how your risk and opportunity identification processes are applied at both company and asset level
Stora Enso assesses Group-wide risks and opportunities according to the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) process. ERM is an integrated part of the
management processes and is tied to the company strategy.
Stora Enso’s overall risk appetite and risk tolerance are determined annually by the Board of Directors in conjunction with the annual strategy meeting and review of
Stora Enso’s Risk Assessment Criteria, and conveyed specifically through corporate policies, instructions or guidelines.
The Board of Directors has established the Financial and Audit Committee and Global Responsibility and Ethics Committee to provide support to the board related
to the monitoring of the risk management process within Stora Enso.
In connection of the annual strategy process, divisions and Group service and support functions are instructed to conduct a holistic baseline risk assessment linked
to strategic objectives. Significant changes in identified risks or material new risks are required to be included in monthly performance reports.
Additionally at asset level Stora Enso’s production units follow regulatory requirements regarding environmental risk assessment. As part of third party certified
systems (ISO 14001), each mill has implemented procedures for systematic identification of environmental risks and handling of related effects, if such situation
should occur at the production site.
In this setup climate change risks are identified as separate events and are identified across all of the risk sources. In addition to the ERM, on a company-level a
core team representing the Global Responsibility Council and Environment and Efficiency Working Group are continuously managing the overall risk identification
and assessment from environmental and climate change point of view.
Internal Audit evaluates the effectiveness and efficiency of the Stora Enso Risk Management Process.
CC2.1c
How do you prioritize the risks and opportunities identified?
The identified material risks and opportunities are prioritized based on their potential impact and likelihood. The assessment of risks and opportunities takes place at
all levels in the organization as an integral part of our risks and opportunities identification process on a quarterly basis.
Within this process the impact and likelihood of individual risks are evaluated in accordance with the Stora Enso Risk assessment criteria and scored based on their
potential impacts and likelihood. The evaluation and following prioritization takes into account e.g. financial, personnel, occupational health and safety and
reputational aspects of each individual risk or opportunity.
For further information, see the attachment with the description of Stora Enso's risk assessment criteria and risk universe.

Comment
Is climate change integrated into your business strategy?
Yes
CC2.2a
Please describe the process of how climate change is integrated into your business strategy and any outcomes of this process
(v) A key issue for Stora Enso is how to build consumer awareness to make responsible choices minimizing the carbon footprint and environmental impact. We
recognize a strategic opportunity and competitive advantage toward companies producing non-renewable materials since our products are based on renewable
materials with comparatively low carbon footprints. We believe that consumers will, in response to climate change and resource scarcity, demand low-carbon
product alternatives. Stora Enso’s wood-based products store carbon throughout their life-cycle, after which they can be either recycled or incinerated to produce
energy. Through our R&D we have developed solutions to replace non-renewable materials, such as fibre-based consumer and industrial packaging and wood
based solutions for construction industry.
(iv) Stora Enso reviews business strategy annually in a process owned by the CEO and approved by the Board of Directors. The process takes place in conjuction
with the Enteprise Risk Management (ERM) process described in 2.1b. Stora Enso is going through transformation into a company that will use renewable materials
to create long term value on a global scale and focus on growth markets in Asia and Latin America, fibre-based packaging, plantation-based pulp and competitive
paper grades.
(iv) During 2013 we continued to develop the sustainability performance of our operations in line with our Purpose and Values. Our Purpose to “Do good for the
people and the planet”, launched in 2012, explains how and why we can succeed in a turbulent world as well as the role of sustainability in the Group's
transformation strategy. Our values “Lead” and “Do What’s Right” express our desire to make the world a better place for future generations. This also means that
personal choices count to be able to change the world, and that it matters whether you use renewable or non-renewable materials and whether you recycle or not.
The Values are rooted in everyday work and is defined in our Code of Conduct.
(iv vi) As an integral part of our business strategy, our Global Responsibility Strategy defines three Lead Areas of our Global Responsibility: Environment and
Efficiency (including Climate Change and Energy); People and Ethics; and Forests and Land Use. Our Global Responsibility Strategy emphasizes a systematic,
transparent and well-managed business approach which meets the increasing expectations of our stakeholders around the world, when we expand and involve in
growth markets, entailing challenges and risks related to sustainability. Climate change is a clear element both in the short and long term view. Our management
approach and strategic actions are described in our Climate Change Statement as well as in our Energy Guidelines for energy procurement and generation. Both
documents are publicly available at www.storaenso.com/sustainabilitypolicies.
(iii) A key element in our business strategy is to promote sustainable management of forests and tree plantations and promote third-party-verified forest and chainof-custody certification to guarantee that our wood originates from sustainably managed forests and tree plantations. This is the license to operate, and one
important part of this work is active combat of illegal logging, which is one important reason for deforestation. We restore and conserve Atlantic rainforest habitats in
and around the tree plantations we own through our joint venture Veracel in Brazil, thus also creating a significant carbon sink. Tree plantations sequester more
carbon than the previous land uses, which almost entirely has consisted of grass lands for cattle grazing or unused lands.
(iii) We are working to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions all along our value chain and the aspects of climate change has a clear influence both on our
business strategy and climate change mitigation. This involves promoting sustainable forestry and tree plantation management practices, creating innovative
products based on renewable raw materials, and developing cleaner and more efficient production processes. At the same time, we are helping to build a less
carbon-intensive global economy by further improving our energy efficiency, by increasing the share of bioenergy in our total energy use, and through our products,
which are recyclable and based on renewable raw materials. Climate change also affects the way our business is communicated; taking a more active approach in
communicating the benefits of our products in comparison to non-renewables (As an example, see attached Rethink 2013 Magazine, e.g. pages 14-15).
(vi) In 2013 Stora Enso decided to invest EUR 13.5 million to replace oil with dried sawdust at our Enocell Mill in Finland. This investment will enable us to replace
over 85% of the fossil fuels used at Enocell with biomass. This is expected to reduce the mill’s annual fossil carbon dioxide emissions by 30 000 tonnes and energy
costs by EUR 5 million. This project is due to be finalised by the end of 2014. In 2013 Stora Enso also decided to invest EUR 32 million in building a state-of-the-art
biorefinery at Sunila Mill in Finland. The biorefinery will reduce the mill’s CO2 emissions by replacing up to 90% of the natural gas used at the mill with lignin
extracted from black liquor. Our centralised 10 M€ energy efficiency fund allocated for energy saving investments supported 38 projects during 2013. These projects
should generate energy savings amounting to at least 223 000 MWh per year.
(iv) Climate change mitigation and our business strategy go hand in hand. At the core of our business is our aim to replace non-renewable materials with products
and solutions based on renewable materials. In 2013 0.8% of our sales (amounting to EUR 80 million) were reinvested in R&D activities. The Group’s R&D platforms
cover issues including bio-based barriers, micro-materials, composites, biochemistry and wood based building solutions.
(iii) In 2013 we continued to carry out a major investment in fibre-based packaging based on renewable materials at Beihai City in China. The first phase of the
investment involves the construction of a consumer board machine scheduled to become operational in the beginning of 2016. Another example in 2013 was that we
completed an agreement to establish a joint venture, Bulleh Shah Packaging, including operations at Kasur and Karachi in Pakistan with focus on renewable
packaging products.
(vi) In 2013 our Group-level CO2 intensity was 28% lower than the 2006 benchmark level. Reductions in our CO2 intensity in previous years have been achieved
through investments in biomass boilers that have reduced use of fossil fuels and through increases in internal production of power and heat. Other contributing
factors have included improved productivity, the use of more efficient equipment, and streamlined processes.

As representative of the trade association of the paper
industry in Nort-Rhine-Westfalia, Germany, we actively
supported the work on a climate protection plan which was
initiated by the local government of the German state NorthRhine-Westfalia. We participated besides other industry and
stakeholders in several working groups, headed by the
ministry of envrionment. The target was to develop measures
to achieve the state's climate protection targets under the
climate protection law.
The idea was to develop a bunch of measures under the
umbrella of the land use regulation, but also independent from
this to further push the local economy into a low carbon
economy without hampering the competitiveness of the local
industry. All collected measures will be discussed publicly and
later the state parliament will vote on the implementation of the
plan and the measures.

CHP Association in Spain supports reasonable climate
change policy through efficiency given by the CHP process
installed in all sorts of industries, including most paper mills
in Spain.
Stora Enso’s Managing Director in Spain has been directly
involved and emphasized the position that the Spanish
government must abide by the Cogeneration Directive, which
states that CHP must be promoted and helped in the various
countries to attain maximum fossil fuel efficiency. This has
been advocated through active participation in lobbying
activities and press media articles to promote such policies

The position is to support actions to mitigate climate
change, supporting the EU ETS system and at the same
time making sure that carbon leakage can be avoided.
Position on renewable energy generation is that most
effective and most efficient choice should be made.
CEPI is supporting a reasonable climate change policy
and was the first industrial association presenting a 2050
roadmap of its own which was appreciated by the EU
climate comissioner Hedegaard. CEPI strives for climate
change mitigation measures that ensure a level playing
field for the industry and takes carbon- as well as
investment-leakage into consideration.
The FFIF supports measures against climate change.
One of the focus areas is sustainability and the usage of
biomass, which should be used as a raw-material first
before being used as an energy source. The association
has i.e. actively contributed to the introduction of
regulations to prevent illegal logging. The position on
climate change and emission trading is very close to the
CEPI position.
The SFIF is supporting activities to mitigate climate
change and has developed a clear view on how
sustainable forest management can contribute in
providing carbon sinks. A global agreement is promoted
and such must take the use and positive impact of
harvested wood products into consideration. Measures
against deforestation are seen as a must. One current
issue is the EU Commission framework on climate and
energy for 2030 expressing a new ambitious climate
target which is good, but should be conditioned with the
fact that forest industry put under global competition
should be compensated for both direct and indirect cost
increases following the EU ETS.

Stora Enso supports the work of CEPI and is active in
working groups like i.e. climate change and energy
committee. It as well was part of the so called "Two Teams
Project" aiming at the development of break through
technologies for a low carbon paper industry.
Stora Enso is not only represented in the Board of
Directors but also has the chair of the executive committee
and by this supports the activities of the association,
besides participating in several working groups as well.
Stora Enso is represented in the Board of the SFIF as well
as in the Presidium (Executive Committee). Stora Enso’s
senior experts are also directly involved in specific SFIF
expert committees for Forestry, Environment & Energy,
Product Safety and Transportation. In these committees,
upcoming national and international policy with regards to
regulatory issues concerning climate change and energy
affecting our company is dealt with and we actively
propose changes to proposed legislation in
communications to the government.

WBCSD’s primary platform for supporting business to
help the world achieve a sustainable future is called
Action 2020. Action 2020 provides a platform for the
dialogue with local, national and regional policy-makers
that will be critical to allowing Business Solutions to
reach a much greater scale. Action 2020 is also the
roadmap for how business can positively influence
environmental and social trends while strengthening their
own resilience to issues such as climate change. The
members of WBCSD ha agreed on a vision called
“Vision 2050” including “must haves” which are intended
to work as a springboard for further dialogue and debate.
Must haves include: • Incorporating the costs of
externalities, starting with carbon, ecosystem services
and water, into the structure of the marketplace; •
Doubling agricultural output without increasing the
amount of land or water used; • Halting deforestation
and increasing yields from planted forests; • Halving
carbon emissions worldwide (based on 2005 levels) by
2050 through a shift to low-carbon energy systems; •
Improved demand-side energy efficiency, and providing
universal access to low-carbon mobility.

group. They follow the political debate and suppport
decision makers with input to better assess the effects
from energy and climate change regulations on climate
and industrial value creation. We actively support the work
and sometimes deliver also real figures from our German
mills to illustrate the effects of any planned or existing
regulations, as much as protection of our business secrets
and competition law allows us.
The Forest solution working group, within WBCSD,
develop key messages and reports to support the forest
products industry and highlight how the industry can be
part of the solution to combat climate change. One
example is our involvement in making the issue brief
regarding Biomass Carbon Neutrality which is a framework
for understanding climate neutrality. The issue brief distills
and synthesizes the complexity of the debate and
underlines the importance of carbon neutrality in public
policy.

For example in Sweden, Stora Enso partly finance the “Foundation for Water and Air related research (SSVL)” including climate and energy in the scope. Stora Enso
is holding a position in the SSVL Board as well as in the Project management team. The key is to participate in cost efficient projects representing Stora Enso’s mills
interest together with peers. E.g. in 2008, SSVL published the Swedish forest industry’s emissions and capture of GHG’s (IVL Report B1774) and in this specific
case it was serving the interest to get recognition for Stora Enso and the forest products industry, which is based on renewable resource and to have that reflected in
national policy.

What processes do you have in place to ensure that all of your direct and indirect activities that influence policy are consistent with your overall climate
change strategy?
Global Responsibility and Ethics are emphasized throughout Stora Enso’s corporate governance, starting from our Board of Directors, the CEO and our Group
Leadership Team, and further in the three Business Divisions. Stora Enso has established Group functions for Global Responsibility (including Environment and
Climate) and Energy Services, which are steered and coordinated centrally.
Our internal governance structure is set up and formed to ensure that all our delegates in associations mentioned above have the same basic understanding
regarding our climate change policy. Our common Global Responsibility Strategy (in which Climate Change is an integral part) and our Ethics and Compliance
Strategy direct us in the daily work and the Global Responsibility strategy defines three Lead Areas in which Stora Enso is especially working to enhance operational
sustainability and take leadership. One Lead Area “Environment and Efficiency” drives our direct and indirect activities related to Energy and Climate actions which
influence and ensure policy consistency after being anchored with the Business Divisions.
Following our Global Responsibility strategy and guiding our influence of consistent policy development, we have established the following supporting documents:
-Stora Enso Climate Change Statement
-Stora Enso Energy Guidelines
Our internal governance structure is set up and formed to ensure that all our delegates in associations mentioned above have the same basic understanding
regarding our climate change policy. To facilitate, Stora Enso has established policies and guidelines which all employees being active in industry associations and
external interaction follow.

Wood is Stora Enso’s most important raw material and by substituting fossil based products with ours third parties can reduce their climate change impact as
described below:
E1:
i) Stora Enso has one of the biggest biomass procurement organizations in Europe which supply forest energy biomass to both 3rd party customers and own mills.
Our revenues from forest energy biomass supplies was in Sweden appr 103 MEUR (5.1 TWh) and in Finland 23 MEUR (1.2 TWh) totaling 126 MEUR (6.3 TWh) for
Stora Enso in 2013. Third party customers accounted for 75 % of sales and consisted of CHP and district heating plants. Avoided emissions impact the third party’s
Scope 1 emissions.
ii) Stora Enso’s forest energy biomass would replace coal for their internal heating processes and reduce Scope 1 emissions.
iii) We estimate that forest energy biomass sold by Stora Enso in 2013 and replacing coal for heating would result in a CO2 reduction for the end-users amounting to
2.2 million tonnes of CO2e/annum.
iv) 1 tonne of forest energy biomass=2,7 MWh; emission factor for coal = 95 kg CO2/GJ = 92,7 kg CO2/GJ, 0,001kgCH4/GJ, 0,002kgN2O/GJ, GWP CH4=25,
N2O=298, average energy content of 2.6 MWh/tonne; moisture content of 45 %.
v) We are not considering generating CERs or ERUs.
E2:
i) In 2013, Stora Enso produced 248 000 tonnes of wood pellets, a highly refined biomass fuel used for heating directly replacing e.g. oil. We manufacture pellets
using sawdust and wood shaving residues generated during the sawmilling process and sell it to private homes, small community heating plants and industrial
heating plants to reduce 3rd party Scope 1 emissions.
ii) Stora Enso’s wood pellets would replace/substitute light fuel oil for heating purposes and reduce Scope 1 emissions.
iii) We estimate that pellets produced in 2013 (1 279 GWh) and replacing light fuel oil for heating would result in CO2 reductions for the end-users (Scope 1)
amounting to 430 000 tonnes of CO2e.
iv) 1 tonne of pellets=4.8 MWh, calorific intensity of pellets is 41% compared to oil; emission factor for light fuel oil = 74,1 kg CO2/GJ, 0,003kgCH4/GJ,
0,0010kgN2O/GJ, GWP CH4=25,N2O=298.
v) We are not considering generating CERs or ERUs.
E3:
i) As a partner to local stakeholders we offer innovative ways to use resources and benefit communities around our mills. One way to increase competitiveness and
business profits is district heating and in 2013 a number of 12 of Stora Enso’s pulp-, paper-, board- and wood products mills were integrated with local district
heating systems (Scope 1). Local district heating networks are supplied by mills in Anjala, Ala, Heinola, Hylte, Kvarnsveden, Nymölla, Oulu, Pfarrkirchen, Skoghall,
Skutskär, Varkaus and Ybbs.
ii) Stora Enso’s district heating would replace light fuel oil for heating and thus reduce Scope 1 emissions.
iii) Supply of heat from these mills is mostly directly replacing oil and this business creates shared values and is directly supporting the EU targets to reduce fossil
CO2 emissions. In 2013 a total of 964 GWh heat was sold to district heating. It is estimated to potentially replace light fuel oil for heating resulting in CO2 reductions
for the communities amounting to 257 000 tonnes of CO2.
iv) Emission factor for light fuel oil = 74,1 kg CO2/GJ, 0,003kgCH4/GJ, 0,0010kgN2O/GJ, GWP CH4=25,N2O=298.
v) We are not considering generating CERs or ERUs.
E4:
i) In 2013 Stora Enso sold 1,01 million tons of fibre based liquid packaging board for beverage cartons and other liquid food, equaling the packaging material needed
for approximately 42 billion one litre beverage cartons. This board is a renewable material and produced at mills which use major quantities of biomass energy. Due
to a 90% share of bioenergy in total energy production, it makes it possible to report low fossil CO2 emission of liquid packaging boards (Scope 3).
ii) The substitution effect by using Stora Enso’s renewable material, fibre based liquid packaging, would bring third party emissions of Scope 3 down.
iii) Average CO2 (eq) emissions of 1 ton of Stora Enso aseptic pack from cradle to gate is 500 kg. If even 1 billion HDPE bottles were replaced with renewable liquid
packaging board, it would result in the avoidance of 44 000 ton of CO2 equivalent annually, when assuming that fibre part of one 1 litre carton weights 24 grams.
iv) Based on our customer LCA study on food packages (http://www.sig.biz/sig-global/en/teaser-global/life-cycle-assessment/life-cycle-assessment/) carton packs
can save CO2 emissions by up to 63 per cent, and consumption of fossil resources by up to 69 per cent.
v) We are not considering generating CERs or ERUs.

What methods do you use to drive investment in emissions reduction activities?

Employee engagement
Comment
Stora Enso granted a dedicated budget for energy efficiency measures in 2013. Business units proposed measures and
Energy Services unit evaluated them. Finally the so called Investment Working Group, a Stora Enso group body, decided on
the best proposals to be realized.
In 2012 we established a network of energy dedicated persons that was structured in 3 Forums. In 2013 we added another
Forum especially for chemical pulp mills. The purpose of the Froums is to share best practise and ensure know how transfer
between the mills. Our energy efficiency manager serves as a secretary to the Forums and steers the process to keep focus

on achieving the energy saving targets set by the Divisions. Besides this our employee suggestion scheme offers every
employee the possibility to contribute by own proposal to energy savings or emission reductions.
In all countries Stora Enso complies with regulatory requirements and standards. When standards are announced to be
changed Stora Enso proactively develops plans how to cope with the future requirements. This can trigger investments in more
environmentally friendly porcesses or equipment.
Since 2012 bigger investment projects are checked regarding their expected energy efficiency performance before
implementing them. Examples are the planned board mill in China or the planned power plant in Bulleh Shah, Pakistan, where
we are a minority shareholder in. We want to ensure to implement the most efficient and by that also environmetally friendly
technique available and avoid and copy-and-paste processes of older or outdated solutions.
The European Union emission trading scheme has put a cost on all CO2 emissions. We do financial optimization calculations
on all levels of the company. Cost decrease by avoiding emissions can have a major impact on the financial result. These cost
savings can be a driver in many kind of investment projects.
In some countries we participate in national energy efficiency programs and use this tool to identify opportunities for energy
saving investments. Good example for this is Sweden, where all our mills have a certified energy management system (ELS)
as part of our participation in the National Swedish Program for Energy Efficiency (called PFE-program). Stora Enso joined this
program already 2005. By taking part in PFE we are constantly mapping out energy consumption and identifying potential and
implementing the most profitable energy saving projects. All our Finnish mills participate in the Finnish Energy Efficiency
Agreement (valid 2008-2016) and have established an energy efficiency system. Our efforts to systematically monitor and
continously decrease the specific use of energy are audited yearly mill by mill. In all these schemes the identification of
investment opportunities for energy- and thereby emission-reductions is a key element. In Germany all our mills are certified
according to ISO 50001 which is the European energy management standard. Our plan is to also have the Finnish mills be
certified under this scheme before 2016 to have a more uniform and thereby effective approach to energy management in
Stora Enso.

Further Information
Stora Enso’s business risks and risk management are further described in Stora Enso’s Financial report 2013 (attached below p.p. 28-32). Stora Enso categorizes
risks into four key areas: Marketplace, Infrastructure (incl. Climate change), Reputational and Financial risks. Stora Enso's Group Leadership Team, Divisions,
Group Functions, production units and projects are responsible for managing risks that could have an adverse effect on the achievement of their objectives and
goals. To achieve this Stora Enso has implemented an enterprise risk management process for identifying and treating risks as well as exploiting opportunities,
thereby increasing the likelihood of achieving objectives. The Stora Enso Group Risk Policy sets out the overall approach to governance and management of risks.
The aim is continuous monitoring of identified material risks and prioritizing of risks based on their likelihood at all levels in the organisation and taking them into
account in the strategic and business planning processes. Our renewable products can be used as substitutes for fossil fuel-based materials. We believe that this
market will continue to grow. Stora Enso is committed to contributing to mitigating the effects of climate change by actively seeking opportunities to reduce the
Group’s carbon footprint. Risks related to climate change are managed via activities related to finding clean, affordable and safe energy sources for production and
transportation, and reducing energy consumption. Additional measures include energy efficiency initiatives, use of carbon-neutral biomass fuels, maximizing
utilisation of combined heat and power, and sequestration of carbon dioxide in forests and products. The Group’s wood-based products are a better alternative for
minimising climate change than more carbon-intensive products. International climate/energy policies have a significant impact on uncertainties. Changes and
inconsistencies in regulations may significantly impact on individual mills’ competitiveness. Our verified emissions under the EU ETS in 2013 were 2 520 115 metric
tonnes. It is difficult to estimate effects of increased competition from bioenergy sector to wood prices. Usually external biomass plants, due to subsidies and short
transport distances for raw material, have a higher paying capability than pulp and board mills with higher wood consumption and longer transport distances.
Financial impacts of emission allowances and on risks related to raw material and energy prices are included in Note 5 and Note 25 in the Financial Report 2013.

The figure for electricity purchased and consumed (10.086.904 MWh) contains the volumes we purchased from company PVO/TVO in Finland. As we are a minority
shareholder and receive energy according to our share we looked upon these volumes as being produced by an own company when answering question 11.4.
Nevertheless we included these volumes in the figure for purchased volumes for question 11.2 as we pay for them and by this they are regarded as purchased
volumes.

Reason for change
In 2013 our CO2 emissions per saleable tonne of pulp, paper, and board were 28%
lower than the 2006 benchmark level, so we are on our way towards reaching our
target. Reductions in our CO2 intensity in previous years have been achieved through
investments in biomass boilers that have reduced our use of fossil fuels, and through
increases in our internal production of power and heat. Other contributing factors have
included improved productivity, the use of more efficient equipment, and streamlined
processes. This declining trend was disrupted in 2013, mainly due to lower production
volumes and the increased use of fossil fuels at our Ostrołęka Mill in Poland and Maxau
Mill in Germany.

What is your strategy for complying with the schemes in which you participate or anticipate participating?
We are fully complying with the EU ETS rules and yearly emissions are verified according to national legislation. In 2011 we updated our previous target for reducing
our fossil CO2 emissions, and we now aim to reduce emissions per saleable tonne of pulp, paper, and board by 35% from 2006 levels by the end of 2025. This CO2
intensity target covers both emissions generated directly by our own facilities (Scope 1), and indirect emissions produced during the generation of the electricity and
heat we purchase (Scope 2). After 2013 we achieved 28%. To further push for better energy efficiency we establised a target of reducing our specific energy
consumption (electricity and heat per tonne of paper) in our pulp, paper and board mills by 15% until 2020 (base year 2010). The scope covers more than 95% of
our energy consumption. This will help us in achieving the neccessary reduction in CO2 emissions. We set up a permanent group of people in Stora Enso whose
only task is to improve the energy efficiency, internally called Energy Hunters.
Reductions in our CO2 intensity in previous years have been achieved through investments in biomass boilers that have reduced our use of fossil fuels, and through
increases in our internal production of power and heat. Other contributing factors have included improved productivity, the use of more efficient
equipment, and streamlined processes. This declining trend was disrupted in 2013, mainly due to the increased use of fossil fuels at our Ostrołęka Mill in Poland and
Maxau Mill in Germany.

services. We have applied a general cut off rule
of 1% by weight (accumulative weight not to
exceed 5%) to applicable parts of this source
category. 1. Wood harvesting - The calculations
are based on; based on suppied round wood
and forest biomass by harvesting and felling
method (diesel consumed and electricity need),
forest managment (Silviculture and forest
improvement work by working method) and
operational travel. 2. purchased non-fibre raw
materials - The calculations are based on
2668000
volumes of purchased pigments, chemicals and
polymeric materials. Volumes obtained from
central group data system. Generic emission
factors from Ecoinvent has been used. 3.
Purchased of external pulp - The calculations
based on purchased volumes. We have applied
cradle-to-gate calculations (60%) and the use
generic LCA data from Ecoinvent. 4. Purchased
recovered fibre - The calculations based on
purchased volumes and generic Ecoinvent data
for sorted and unsorted paper. 5. Purchased
fibre raw materials for corrugated board - The
calculations based on purchased volumes and
generic data from Ecoinvent.
Compared to our total Scope 3 emissions,
CO2e emisssions related to the source
category capital goods is considered estimated
to be minor. Due to this fact and the extreme

Purchased electricity not included in Scope 2 is
not included in the estimates due to its
complexity to gather data at this point. >Purchased electricity not included in Scope 2
is extraction, production and transportation of
fuel consumed to generate the electricity
purchased. Transmission and distribution
losses of purchased electricity.
The majority of the waste and residuals
generated by our operations is treated internally
and disposed of in our own landfills. It is
therefore concluded that the majority of
emissions generated by waste management
are included into Scope1.

The category is not applicable to our company
since we do not have processing of sold

paper are based on calculations for sold
volumes and emission factors for printing
methods from Technical Research Centre of
Finland (VTT).

also applicable for entites with investments not
included in Scope 1 and 2. We do have such
investments which likely would have a small
effect on our Scope 3 but they are not included
due lack of data and the complex nature of the

CC14.4a
Please give details of methods of engagement, your strategy for prioritizing engagements and measures of success
Our engagement with suppliers regarding GHG emissions are on many different ways and levels.
For contractual purposes we have prepared a set of responsibility requirements for our suppliers. The requirements include a broad spectrum of demands which are
linked to GHGs. In 2013 these requirements were included in 94% of our Group-level purchase contracts of direct and indirect inputs other than wood in terms of
supplier spending.
Audits are another way we engage with our suppliers. Our procedures include processes to encourage our suppliers to engage in GHG emissions reduction efforts.
Reduction efforts may include both energy reduction activities and reduction of fossil fuels use.
Our LCA practitioners often require product segment specific GHG data from our suppliers to use in the calculation of product specific GHG calculations. The
engagements are carried out in many ways such as questionnaires, phone calls and meetings.
The prioritization of engagements and our work is mostly business driven. We act upon requests from our customers and provide the right level of GHG service as
needed. We proactively work on our engagements since we based on customer history has learned how our customer base work regarding GHG requests.
To measure the success is difficult but we interpret long lasting relationships with our partners and new customers as a success for our GHG work even though
GHG is one out several criteria when we are selected as a supplier.

Please give details
The data is used to describe the amount of GHG caused by an individual, an organization, a process, or a product. Stora Enso Printing
and Reading has calculated the Carbon Footprints of its product segments, following the manual adopted by the European Association of
Graphic Paper Producers, EURO-GRAPH to guide companies to prepare their data sets in line with the "Framework for the Development
of Carbon Footprints for Paper and Board Products", developed by the Confederation of European Paper Industries, CEPI. These Carbon
Footprints comprise direct and indirect CO2 emissions (associated with producing fibre, other raw materials and fuels, pulp and paper
production, purchased and sold energy and inbound & internal transports) and biogenic carbon retained in the paper as leaving our mills,
and thus removed from the atmosphere. The figures are presented in Carbon Footprint Fact Sheets, which are provided to customers on
request. Customers might for example use these figures in Carbon Footprint calculations for their own products.
In several of our projects we make evaluations of environmental aspects and hence also GHG emissions. The following example is
included in this category even if it regards the stimulation of innovation of new production processes and not products. In our so called MIB
project in Veracel we engaged ourselves in the planning and development of a new bleaching process. The engagement included
estimation of environmental aspects including GHG emissions. The engagement resulted in the collection of emissions from suppliers
which became an element of the development process.
Please explain why you do not engage with any elements of your value chain on GHG emissions and climate change strategies, and any plans you have
to develop an engagement strategy in the future
