CDP 2014 Investor CDP 2014 Information Request CDP Stora Enso Oyj Module: Introduction Page: Introduction CC0.1 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.

Governance 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. CC1.2 Do you provide incentives for the management of climate change issues, including the attainment of targets? Yes CC1.2a Please provide further details on the incentives provided for the management of climate change issues Who is entitled to benefit from these incentives? The type of incentives Energy managers Monetary reward All employees Monetary reward Incentivized performance indicator Reduction targets of electricity and heat consumption are linked to the bonus payments of Energy Managers. The performance is measured by the reduction of the kWh consumption per saleable tonne of pulp, paper and board. In our Performance Appraisal scheme individual and department-level targets, covering all of our employees, are selected from four different areas of which one is sustainability. Individual and department-level targets related to climate change mitigation are embedded in the ´Sustainability’ area. The Performance Appraisal scheme is linked to the individual share of the annual Group-wide bonus payments. We also have a suggestion scheme for energy efficiency initiatives which is open for all employees.

Strategy CC2.1 Please select the option that best describes your risk management procedures with regard to climate change risks and opportunities Integrated into multi-disciplinary company wide risk management processes CC2.1a Please provide further details on your risk management procedures with regard to climate change risks and opportunities Frequency of monitoring To whom are results reported Six-monthly or more frequently Individual/Sub-set of the Board or committee appointed by the Board Geographical areas considered Stora Enso's Enteprise Risk Management (ERM) process covers all the Group's operations. The Group has production units and/or forestry operations in Europe, Asia, Russia, South America and the USA. How far into the future are risks considered? > 6 years Comment Please also find additional information in the attached description of Stora Enso's risk assessment criteria and risk universe. 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. CC2.1d Please explain why you do not have a process in place for assessing and managing risks and opportunities from climate change, and whether you plan to introduce such a process in future Main reason for not having a process CC2.2 Do you plan to introduce a process? 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. CC2.2b Please explain why climate change is not integrated into your business strategy CC2.3 Do you engage in activities that could either directly or indirectly influence public policy on climate change through any of the following? (tick all that apply) Direct engagement with policy makers Trade associations Funding research organizations CC2.3a On what issues have you been engaging directly with policy makers? Focus of legislation Other: Climate protection plan North Rhine Westfalia Other: Cogeneration (CHP) Corporate Position Details of engagement Proposed legislative solution Support with minor exceptions 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. Support with minor exceptions Industrial Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Association. The 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 CC2.3b Are you on the Board of any trade associations or provide funding beyond membership? Yes CC2.3c Please enter the details of those trade associations that are likely to take a position on climate change legislation Trade association Wirtschaftsverband der rheinisch-westfälischen papiererzeugenden Industrie e. V. Is your position on climate change consistent with theirs? Consistent CEPI - confederation of European paper industry Consistent FFIF - Finnish forest industry federation Consistent SFIF - Swedish Forest Industry Federation Consistent VDP - association of Consistent Please explain the trade association's position 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. The German Paper Industry association supports a How have you, or are you attempting to, influence the position? Active participation in discussions internally and when meeting politicians and other decision makers. Support of position papers by delivering background material for the preparation like figures and statistics. 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. Stora Enso is represented in the committee for energy and Trade association Is your position on climate change consistent with theirs? German Paper Industry WBCSD - World Business Council for Sustainable Development CC2.3d Please explain the trade association's position reasonable climate change policy that is effective and does not create any carbon leakage for the energy intensive industry. It also argues for a fare burden sharing regarding the support for renewable energy generation. Consistent 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. How have you, or are you attempting to, influence the position? climate change policy and the emission trading working 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. Do you publically disclose a list of all the research organizations that you fund? No CC2.3e Do you fund any research organizations to produce or disseminate public work on climate change? Yes CC2.3f Please describe the work and how it aligns with your own strategy on climate change 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. CC2.3g Please provide details of the other engagement activities that you undertake CC2.3h 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. -Stora Enso Code of Conduct -Stora Enso Business Practise Policy CC2.3i Please explain why you do not engage with policy makers Further Information Attachments https://www.cdp.net/sites/2014/29/23129/Investor CDP 2014/Shared Documents/Attachments/InvestorCDP2014/CC2.Strategy/Stora Enso Climate_Change_Statement.pdf https://www.cdp.net/sites/2014/29/23129/Investor CDP 2014/Shared Documents/Attachments/InvestorCDP2014/CC2.Strategy/Stora Enso Energy_Guidelines.pdf https://www.cdp.net/sites/2014/29/23129/Investor CDP 2014/Shared Documents/Attachments/InvestorCDP2014/CC2.Strategy/Stora Enso Code of Conduct Booklet.pdf https://www.cdp.net/sites/2014/29/23129/Investor CDP 2014/Shared Documents/Attachments/InvestorCDP2014/CC2.Strategy/Stora_Enso_Global_Responsibility_Report_2013.pdf https://www.cdp.net/sites/2014/29/23129/Investor CDP 2014/Shared Documents/Attachments/InvestorCDP2014/CC2.Strategy/Stora_Enso_E_Financial_Report_2013.pdf https://www.cdp.net/sites/2014/29/23129/Investor CDP 2014/Shared Documents/Attachments/InvestorCDP2014/CC2.Strategy/Stora_Enso_Rethink_E_2013.pdf https://www.cdp.net/sites/2014/29/23129/Investor CDP 2014/Shared Documents/Attachments/InvestorCDP2014/CC2.Strategy/Stora Enso Business Practise Policy.pdf https://www.cdp.net/sites/2014/29/23129/Investor CDP 2014/Shared Documents/Attachments/InvestorCDP2014/CC2.Strategy/Stora Enso ERM 2014.pdf Page: CC3.

Yes CC3.2a Please provide details of how the use of your goods and/or services directly enable GHG emissions to be avoided by a third party 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.

Comment CC3.3c What methods do you use to drive investment in emissions reduction activities? Method Dedicated budget for energy efficiency 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 Method Compliance with regulatory requirements/standards Other Financial optimization calculations Other Comment 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.

The team ensures that the energy -Energy Services function: cost for the entire function was 2,1 MEUR, not only related to risk management. In 2012 Stora Enso started to apply a new approach by investing in a software tool for energy savings. The tool covers electricity, Risk driver Description ETS affects Stora Enso in two main ways; (1) It is expected to intensify the competition for biomass, which may lead to higher wood prices; (2) ETS will indirectly increase energy generation costs for our electricity suppliers when emission allowances now have to be completely purchased from 2013. During the second commitment period of 2008– 2012 the EU ETS impacted Stora Enso indirectly through European electricity prices. At the same time we Potential impact Timeframe Direct/ Indirect Likelihood Magnitude of impact Estimated financial implications additional costs EUR 42 million if the CO2 price is EUR 5/tonne. With higher EUA price costs would increase accordingly. In 2013 we recorded Operating Income of 18 MEUR related to emission rights. The surplus of allowances represents a value of roughly 4 MEUR. Management method Cost of management efficiency strategy is duly implemented. Perform sensitivity analyses and consistent calculations of the financial impacts (cost/benefit) of potential price increases on emission allowances. Calculate effects and financial impacts on our business in case of electricity and fossil fuel price increases including external sales of heat. -Reduce use of fossil fuels and increase the share of selfsufficiency in the energy supply (CHP production). In 2013 our electricity selfsufficiency level steam and the efficiency of heat exchangers and it may also be expanded to cover water use.

Risk driver Description were able to profit by selling emission allowances allocated to us under the forest industry’s carbon leakage status. Carbon leakage status has been granted for industries where it is expected that costs related to climate policies would cause businesses to transfer production to countries with laxer constraints on greenhouse gas emissions.

These figures are equivalent to 0.6% of annual electricity consumption and 0.4% of annual heat consumption. Risk driver Description expected supply and demand if the targets should be reached and the forest industry consuming wood according the European Forest Sector Outlook Study. We expect increased competition for wood, related to higher raw material cost and threat of production curtailments due to lack of raw material. This may lead to mobilization of unused harvesting potential at small private forest owners and increased EU imports.

In general, - We have advanced tree breeding programmes in place develop and improve soil preparation and fertilization methods train and maintain harvesting and transport capacity source fibre from multiple sources and have wide geographical presence with good logistic solutions maintain diversity of forest types and structures, which increase resilience toward disturbances take IPCCC - No substantial addition costs as: (i) tree breeding and developing soil preparation and fertilization methods are integral part of the plantation operations, (ii) training and maintenance of sufficient harvesting and transport capacity are part of normal wood procurement actions/preparedness - Maintenance of diversity of forest types and structures increase costs e.g. due to additional requirements for setaside areas by forest certification systems Risk driver Sea level rise Description wind breaks with usually short term oversupply and midterm reduced supply of wood raw materials. The expected sea level rise (Global) varies a lot depending on the source of information. IPCC predicts in the 2007 report a sea level rise of 0,18 to 0,59 m by 2100, while other publications talk about up to 5 m sea level rise.

No substantial additional costs expected since changes in one item can be balanced with another due to efficient and geographically well spread procurement organization Maintaining a diversity of forest types and structures increase costs related to planning and management etc. Risk driver Description Change in mean (average) precipitation Soft forest soils and roads (Finland, Sweden, Baltics and Russia): Milder winters with more rain and less snow and reduced periods of frozen soils will impact harvesting and transport of wood and thus affect stability of raw material supply and increase costs We include here also the risks on "Change in (mean average) temperature" category as its potential impact, time frame etc. to harvesting and transport of wood are Potential impact Increased operational cost Direct/ Timeframe Indirect Likelihood Up to 1 year Direct More likely than not Magnitude of impact Medium Estimated financial implications Management method - Milder winters and changes in precipitation patterns can cause softer soil and force harvesting operations to move temporarily to other areas. This can cause increase costs in the thinning or harvest planning phases. If soft soil stands cannot be harvested during the frozen period they have to be kept until the next year. This causes capital costs which are depending on the interest rate respectively the WACC. - We are training of personnel on harvesting in soft soils plan carefully e.g. new checklists for planning and harvesting on peatland sites introduced, new planning technology (airborne laser scanning) use specially equipped harvesting machinery for soft soils and develop new machine types implement Best Practices of Wood Harvesting in Soft Soils guidelines source fibre from multiple sources and have wide geographical presence with Cost of management Wood harvesting costs in soft soils is more than 10-15% higher than "normal" (dry) harvesting conditions. In general, harvesting costs account some 1/3 of total wood costs Risk driver Snow and ice Description similar in Europe. Sea Transports in the Baltic Sea (Baltic / Nordic): Cold winters in Northern Europe have caused problems for railway transports (snow in Sweden 2010) and sea transports (thick ice in the Baltic sea 2011). In both cases the temporary solution to the problems have been trucking.

For the problems for railway and sea transports the temporary solution to the problems is trucking to meet customer needs, in some cases with a risk to be more expensive. Additional costs of trucking compared to railway and sea transportation. Risk driver Change in temperature extremes Change in precipitation pattern Description increase the CO2 emissions. Changes in temperature extremes (China, Uruguay): Temperature extremes may include occurrence of severe frost periods in the subtropics, which causes damage to eucalypt species grown in Stora Enso's plantations there.

This potential requirement for reduced harvesting Potential impact Reduction/disruption in production capacity Timeframe >6 years Direct/ Indirect Indirect (Supply chain) Likelihood Unlikely Magnitude of impact Mediumhigh Estimated Financial Implications Management method Cost of management Significantly higher wood cost for Stora Enso, thus impacting our mills variable costs, can be caused due to supply restrictions e.g. if forests are used entirely as carbon sinks. In 2013, the total amount of wood procured by Stora Enso participates in R&D work, information campaigns and lobbying to get broader stakeholder acceptance for harvested wood products e.g. as additional carbon pool and for our products to be alternatives to other materials. Managing forest with the goal to maximize the forest carbon pool can lead to reduced harvesting levels and availability of raw material. Some NGOs might use the momentum to demand harvesting stops, when other climate change mitigation actions fails. Companies Risk driver Increasing humanitarian demands Description could impact negatively on global climate change mitigation as well as on Stora Enso. Harvesting of stands leads to short-term releases of carbon from soil and wood debris, making a forest stand a short-term source of CO2. However, as the new trees grow the stand is turned back to a carbon sink and the carbon balance is positive over long time period.

Thus it mitigates also the effects of raising food prices and improves local livelihoods. Stora Enso has established agroforestry systems with good results Laos (rice production and cattle grazing for local communities), Uruguay (cattle grazing and bee keeping) and Brazil (agricultural crops). This risk is managed through flexibility in the sales and market organization attempting to minimize impact on the new areas. The additional costs remain marginal. In Laos the establishment of agroforestry of upland rice production had minor costs for soil preparation as the major work is done by the members of the local communities for their own benefit, as the rice grown between the Eucalyptus rows belongs to them. Costs related to production losses due to damages to infrastructure and logistics restrictions including regional social unrest are difficult to quantify.

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.

Emissions Trading CC13.1 % change from previous year 3.9 Direction of change from previous year Increase 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. Do you participate in any emissions trading schemes? Yes CC13.1a Please complete the following table for each of the emission trading schemes in which you participate Scheme name European Union ETS Period for which data is supplied Tue 01 Jan 2013 - Tue 31 Dec 2013 Allowances allocated 3341066 Allowances purchased 35000 Verified emissions in metric tonnes CO2e 2520115 Details of ownership Facilities we own and operate CC13.1b 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.

Scope 3 Emissions CC14.1 Please account for your organization’s Scope 3 emissions, disclosing and explaining any exclusions Sources of Scope 3 emissions Evaluation status Purchased goods and services Relevant, calculated Capital goods Not relevant, explanation provided metric tonnes CO2e Emissions calculation methodology Percentage of emissions calculated using primary data Explanation Below please in a description of five subcategories and methodologies used for Scope 3 calulations of our purchased goods and 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 Sources of Scope 3 emissions Fuel-and-energyrelated activities (not included in Scope 1 or 2) Evaluation status Relevant, calculated Upstream transportation and distribution Relevant, calculated Waste generated in operations Not relevant, explanation provided metric tonnes CO2e Emissions calculation methodology 467500 Calculations are based on consumed volumes (energy content) of fuels by our units and corresponding generic emission factors from Ecoinvent. 530500 The following category includes transport of fuels, chemicals, recovered paper and purchased pulps. The estimates are based on calculations using tranpsort volumes, transport routes and transportations modes. Main emission data sources from Lipasto and Defra databases. Percentage of emissions calculated using primary data Explanation complexity estimating emissions from capital goods, other categories with much higher impact has been prioritised. 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. Business travel Not relevant, calculated 12000 Employee commuting Not relevant, calculated 19000 An assessment regarding the business travel has been made in the past. It was then concluded that the estimated emissions from business travel were aproximately 1200 tons which is much less than 1% of the total Scope 3. Business travel is therefore not a priority. Based on assessment from selected mills and scaled up to the entire group. The assessment concludes that employee commuting is much less than 1% of the total scope and will not in the Sources of Scope 3 emissions Evaluation status metric tonnes CO2e Emissions calculation methodology Percentage of emissions calculated using primary data Explanation future be a priority.

Therefore one can conclude this category to be not applicable. Not relevant, explanation provided Relevant, calculated Relevant, not yet calculated The following catgory includes transport of pulp, paper, board and wood products. The estimates are based on calculations for transported 1262000 production volumes, tranport routes and transportation modes. Main emission data sources from Lipasto and Defra databases. The category is not applicable to our company since we do not have processing of sold intermediate products by third parties subsequent to sale. This source category includes the CO2eg estimates from futher processed paper and liqued packaging board. The liqued packaging board estimates are based on calculations for sold volumes and generic data from The Alliance 1519500 for Beverage Cartons and the Environment (ACE). The estimates for further processed paper are based on calculations for sold volumes and emission factors for printing methods from Technical Research Centre of Finland (VTT). This category is partly included inot other categories above which deals with the recoved paper. Regarding historical waste disposal, NCASI has completed a study for the pulp and paper industry - Indirect estimates of landfilling for the entire world has been made! The estimate is from 2003 and include paper Sources of Scope 3 emissions Evaluation status metric tonnes CO2e Emissions calculation methodology Percentage of emissions calculated using primary data Explanation products of 156 mtonnes and wood products of 94 mtonnes. The study concludes extreme uncertainty levels from -50% to 100%! Methane is included as a fossil GHG but biogenic CO2 is not. Due to the extreme uncertainty levels and the lack of other reliable data, this category is not included.

(Tick all that apply) Yes, our suppliers Yes, our customers 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. CC14.4b To give a sense of scale of this engagement, please give the number of suppliers with whom you are engaging and the proportion of your total spend that they represent Number of suppliers 294 % of total spend 94% Comment Group level suppliers (e.g.including logistics, purchasing and energy) The supplied figures relates to group level suppliers (e.g chemicals, fillers, energy, fuels and logistics services) of direct and indirect inputs other than wood. CC14.4c If you have data on your suppliers’ GHG emissions and climate change strategies, please explain how you make use of that data How you make use of the data Other Stimulating innovation of new products CC14.4d 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.
