2000 in brief
in brief
• The year 2000 was marked by continued improvements in environmental performance. In spite of a slight
4% increase in production of pulp, paper and board, reductions were achieved in waste disposal (3%), in
emissions of SO2 (4%), NOx (5%), and in discharges to water of COD (2%), AOX (4%), and Nitrogen (4%).
Discharge of Phosphorus increased by 2%, compared to the previous year.
• Bio-fuels accounted for a higher proportion of the fuel consumption in Stora Enso’s energy production
– 64%, compared to 62% in 1999.
• There was steady progress with the introduction of forest certification systems in countries where Stora Enso
operates. At the end of the year, practically all the company’s domestic wood supply in Finland had been
certified according to the national FFCS scheme. The FSC and PEFC schemes also cover increasing areas in
Sweden. In the U.S., Stora Enso’s woodlands operations have been certified under the national SFI scheme, and
been third-party-verified. Similarly, ISO 14001 certification has been granted to the management practices of
Stora Enso’s forest plantations in Portugal. Continued efforts are being directed towards full documentation of
the origin of fibre in order to guarantee the sustainability of wood flows.
• The new Base Port transport system, for goods exported from Swedish mills to customers in continental
Europe and elsewhere overseas, started to operate, and early indications confirm that the expected
considerable environmental improvements will be realised.
• Ten new ISO14001 certifications were achieved. By the end of 2000, 80% (76%) of the company’s pulp, paper
and board production capacity was covered by ISO 14001 and/or EMAS. For Stora Enso’s recently acquired
operations in the U.S., it has been decided that all production units, including forest resources, will be ready
for certification by the end of 2001.
• Stora Enso has decided that systematic environmental management procedures will be implemented in the
company’s service units, as they already are implemented in the production units.
• A new set of environmental principles for transportation was defined during the year.
• Environmentally related investments amounted to EUR 103 million, and operational environmental costs
were EUR 127 million in 2000.
• Stora Enso was also acknowledged for its performance. The Group was listed to the Dow Jones Sustainability
Group Index (DJSGI) for the second time in 2000. This index continues to show higher than average shareholder value for companies which operate in a sustainable manner.
• The acquisition of Consolidated Papers, Inc. took place in August 2000. The emission data and other environmental figures refer to the whole year. Former Consolidated Papers mills are also included in the 1999 figures.
However, the environmental costs and investments only cover the period September–December 2000.

Mission
We promote communication and the well-being
of people by turning renewable fibre into paper,
packaging and processed wood products.
Proud to
be
responsible
Deputy CEO Björn Hägglund
Stora Enso is now a truly global company, producing in
19 countries and selling goods in 36 countries, in
almost every continent. We operate a long production
chain with value added at each stage, from planting
forests right through to paper merchandising. The global scale of this value chain at least theoretically gives
us considerable freedom of action, for instance through
investment and disinvestment opportunities. We can
react to changes in the business environment by relocating the company’s activities, either geographically,
or within the value chain. But this freedom has to be
exercised with responsibility.
A global company must affirm its overall legitimacy through all its actions, and show responsibility
even in the toughest business decisions. This is also
vital in engendering a sense of pride among our own
employees. Proud employees are the best advertisement
for recruiting new talent to the company.
This responsibility is most clearly visible in the
company’s achievements related to environmental and
social issues. So far, most of our systematic approaches
and transparent reporting policies in terms of sustainability have been directed towards environmental
issues. The year 2000 has been a year of progress in this
respect. We have made improvements within many of
the traditional parameters used to measure our industry. The high share of bio-fuels, which now account for
64% of our total fuel consumption in production,
strengthens our reputation as an energy-efficient company. We have been able to make better use of raw
materials, resulting in the generation of less waste, and
emissions have also generally been reduced.
Our investments in treatment technology are up,
compared with the previous year due to a few new
installations, but I expect that environmental investments will be decreasing in the future. This does not
mean that progress will be halted, however. We will be
able to further improve by increasingly focussing on
managing our environmental quality work systematically, through environmental management systems.
Even more units have implemented standardised systems during the past year, and we have set ambitious
Stora

targets to achieve similar standards within our newly
acquired operations in the U.S. Furthermore, during
2000 we have decided to enhance the systematic environmental work of our own service units.
We have now started to operate a new transport system for deliveries from Swedish mills to continental
and overseas customers. Experiences so far prove that
this system will lead to great improvements in fuel
consumption and emission levels. This means, that the
environmental profile of our products will continue to
improve, to the benefit of our customers. During the
year we have developed a new set of environmental
principles for transportation, which highlights
continual and systematic improvements in the services
we purchase, as well as in our own transport operations.
In close co-operation with our customers we are
continuing to look at ways to improve the supply chain
all the way to the final customer. Even if various
labelling schemes are already being applied with some
success, I feel there is still room for improvement. One
specific challenge in this context is providing more
extensive environmental information for our customers.
In particular, we need a tool for communicating information that reflects the holistic perspective we all
increasingly share.
Wood procurement constitutes a fundamental link
in our production chain, whether the source is our own
woodlands or purchases from domestic or foreign suppliers. During the year 2000 we have renewed our fibre
strategy to ensure that the supply of fibres fully meets
our requirements in economic, social and environmental terms. The strategy covers wood, pulp, and recovered fibres. Our wood supply is to an increasing extent
covered by forest certification, and even where no such
systems are yet in place, we are actively working to
ensure that the origin of fibre is systematically documented.
Vision
Looking ahead, I see still more opportunities to
improve our environmental quality work. I trust that
the strong commitment of managers and employees
throughout the company will continue to generate
improvements, as it has ever since our first systematic
approaches were initiated decades ago. The concept of
sustainability is naturally an inherent aspect of our
operations, since our products are both based on a
renewable natural fibre source, and themselves recyclable for reuse or energy recovery.
Where social questions are concerned, we are now
at the beginning of an important process. We must still
further develop our capabilities in the field of stakeholder management. We already have effective relations
with the most easily defined groups of stakeholders:
employees, suppliers, and customers. We are now looking forward to working in closer dialogue with our
other stakeholders – to find ways to set targets and
report on the social aspects of sustainability.
Although systematic monitoring and management
tools concerning social, welfare or ethical issues are not
yet in place, Stora Enso has already been looking closely
into these issues. The natural starting point has been to
screen Stora Enso’s existing policies, principles and
management tools from the point of view of corporate
social responsibility. This screening process has shown
that while several of the cornerstones are already in
place, there is still a need for a more systematic
approach. Based on this notion Stora Enso has decided
to define a code of conduct and formulate the first set
of indicators tailored for monitoring the performance in
terms of corporate responsibility.

Responsible business
Stora Enso is committed to developing its business towards ecological, social and economic
sustainability. These tasks are recognized as shared responsibilities within Stora Enso
enabling a continuous improvement of our operations.
Eco-perspective
Stora Enso’s objective is to supply customers with products and services that satisfy various
needs related to printed communication, packaging and construction purposes. These products are mainly produced from renewable raw materials, and are recyclable and safe to use.
The concept of product life cycle guides our environmental activities and provides the
framework for our efforts. We expect the same commitment from our suppliers and partners
so that at every stage, from raw material to the end product, the impact on the environment
will be minimized.
Social respect
As an international company, Stora Enso acknowledges its role as a model company in the
global, national and local society. Our attitude shall be characterized by respect for the
cultures, customs and values of individuals and groups in countries where we operate.
When developing our business to earn credibility, we will comply with and when possible
go beyond the requirements of national standards and legislation.
Transparent interaction
In order to continuously strengthen our operations and develop environmental and social
issues in a sustainable way, Stora Enso considers an open discussion and interaction with
all stakeholders, both governmental and non-governmental, as fundamental.

Old-
growth
forest
– definitions and options
Forest industry companies like Stora Enso are often asked about their old-growth forest policies.
These questions reflect concern about the future of forests considered to have great
biological or aesthetic value. One problem when discussing old-growth forests, however,
is choosing from a wide range of possible definitions. This makes it important to look closely
both at the whole concept, and at the various ways of dealing with the conservation
and management of old-growth forests.
Describing a forest as old could be taken to mean either
that the trees are old, or that the site has always been
forested. To an ecologist it might suggest an area with
multiple canopy layers, large and very mature trees,
with many epiphytes living on them, an abundance of
dead trees and snags, and an uneven forest floor where
thick moss covers decaying trunks. It is easy to believe
that such forests have always been completely free from
human interference.
The term “old-growth” is often loaded with values,
perceptions and opinions, although it can also be used
neutrally as a classification category for forests that
8
Stora
Enso
Environmental
Report
have reached a certain stage of maturity. The biological,
social and economical connotations are equally important, but the term itself is undoubtedly weighted
towards biological factors.
Biological features typical of old-growth forests
The varying definitions of old-growth forest can involve
combinations of different factors, such as forest structure and composition, the age and size of trees, the
continuum of decaying wood, the amount of disturbance, or biodiversity values. But there are also certain
factors that most definitions share in common.
28.3.2001
21:07
Sivu 9
Typical
features
Time
Time is clearly a fundamental dimension of definitions for oldgrowth forest. The structure and composition of old-growth forests
is the result of their long natural succession reaching a phase
where a certain number of trees in the main canopy layer die off,
creating openings enabling new seedlings to grow.
The rate at which any forest develops also depends on site
quality, species composition, and climate, so age cannot be used
alone to define old-growth forests.
Forest management guidelines may classify forests that have
lived perhaps just 20 years longer than the normal regeneration
cycle as old-growth forests requiring special attention. However,
other factors such as the amount of decaying wood, levels of disturbance, and the presence of endangered species, are also carefully studied before management or conservation decisions are made.
Biodiversity values
Biodiversity values are not usually mentioned in the definitions of
old-growth forests, even where the aim is to identify forests with
high conservation value. However, the structure and composition
typical of old-growth forests within specific climatic and biogeographical conditions correlate strongly with the occurrence of certain specialised plant and animal species.
Disturbance
The attribute “natural” is often linked with old-growth forests, usually referring to the natural regeneration of a forest long ago, and
also to a long succession without significant human interference.
Although most old-growth forests have not been exploited by man
during recent history, biologically valuable old-growth forests may
well have been developed at some time in the past, perhaps even
repeatedly, when ancient fields were cleared for shifting cultivation,
or cuttings made to produce charcoal.
Ecosystems are adapted to withstand natural disasters of certain types, extents and frequencies. Boreal forests on dry and mesic
soils have in general been naturally subject to forest fires at average
intervals of between 50 and 300 years. Some plant and animal
species are dependent on undisturbed forests, while others thrive
in habitat at different successional stages following forest fires and
other disturbances.
Man has reduced the incidence and particularly the scale of
such natural disturbances, but has greatly increased the frequency
of other unnatural disturbance. In general, biodiversity must be
conserved with a much broader perspective on forest dynamics,
rather than a limited focus on the old-growth phase.
The continuum of decaying wood
There is a significant difference between the amounts of dead and
decaying wood in old-growth forests and in commercially productive forests. In commercially productive forests the natural surplus
growth is harvested in intermediate cuttings, but in a natural suc-
cession any trees that die off will contribute to the continuum of
decaying wood, i.e. significant amounts of dead wood in different
stages of decomposition.
The size of a forest
Forests should ideally be self-sustaining with regard to all their
ecosystem functions. The minimum size needed for this to occur
depends very much on bioclimatic conditions, the level of fragmentation, and the presence of mature and old-growth forests.
Definitions of minimum sizes have varied between 2 hectares and
20 hectares in Fennoscandia, for instance. In forest inventories conducted to plan the protection of old-growth forests, however, the
target size has been between 50 and 100 hectares. In northern
Europe, inventories of key biotopes have also been carried out, and
many smaller areas with old-growth characteristics have been
detected.
In Russia, areas classified as old-growth forests may be as large
as 3,000–5,000 hectares.
Structure and composition
The main attribute used to define old-growth forests is the presence of certain old-growth characteristics. These characteristics
vary considerably according to climatic, geological and other sitespecific variables such as levels of disturbance, and should be
defined and assessed separately for each region.
In general, old-growth forests have more large trees than commercially productive forests. There are also more smaller understorey trees, and more groups of trees formed where the death of
one or more large trees has left an opening in the forest canopy.
This greater spatial variation is known as patchiness.
Biological factors common to most definitions
– trees at or beyond biological maturity
– living and dead trees
– trees of various sizes
– characteristic vertical structure
– little or no evidence of human disturbance

Definitions for old-growth forest in the boreal zone
The term old-growth has become synonymous with
forests with a high conservation value. The main disputes related to old-growth forests are not fundamentally about the definition of the term “old-growth”, but
rather on different ideas about the need to protect
forests at a regional or national level.
Although there are differences between the various
definitions of old-growth forests, there is common
ground on their main features. But the detailed characteristics to be used to define old-growth forests should
be specifically identified for each vegetation type in different geographic and climatic zones. In densely populated areas, for instance, signs of human disturbance
must not disqualify forests from classification as oldgrowth forest, while in other areas this might be a more
crucial factor.
Assessing the value of old-growth forest in practice
So the term “old-growth forest” describes not only the
age of the trees, but also the overall state and composition of a forest. Structurally complex forests provide a
greater variety of microclimates, and places for creatures to shelter or nest, consequently enhancing
species diversity. Although there might not be a simple
answer to the problem of varying definitions of oldgrowth forest, the conservation of biodiversity has
clearly become one of the most important challenges
for the forest industry sector around the world. Wood
procurement strategies must be built on the basic principle of only using sustainable resources, and should
take into account the views of governmental organisations, scientists, NGOs and business partners, wherever
the company is operating.
Stora Enso’s Environmental and Social Responsibility Policy states that all operations and actions are
to work “towards ecological, social and economical
sustainability”. This concept includes the responsible
use of natural resources and covers the sustainability
of the various commodities originating from forests,
rather than only focusing on the conditions in the
forests. This makes adapting forest management methods to the dynamic characteristics of any forest ecosystem just as important as protecting old-growth stands.
The sustainable use of forest ecosystems is also a vital
aspect of socio-economic development in many parts
of the world where Stora Enso operates today.
One conclusion that can be drawn from this is
that the forest operations, and ideally also all wood
procurement activities, need to be based on regional or
landscape-scale plans which balance the sustainable
use of forests with traditional protection measures.
Old-growth forests will always play an important role
in working to create a sustainable forest landscape,
regardless of the management methods used. Stora
Enso therefore needs to continue to apply ecological
landscape planning procedures in the company’s forest
holdings around the world, and also to support region-
al or local initiatives that can produce suitable scientific
models for forestry operations and wood procurement.
Within Stora Enso, national wood procurement
principles always comply with local environmental legislation and official conservation programmes. Where
these do not fully concur with Stora Enso’s definition
of sustainable forestry, the company is committed
under its own environmental and social policy to strive
for improvements. Operations like landscape planning,
natural value assessments, and audits to verify the origin of wood, are covered by quality and environmental
management systems such as ISO 14001, Sustainable
Forest InitiativeSM (SFI) and Eco Management and Audit
Scheme (EMAS). Forest certification systems also help
to quantify performance levels and provide evidence of
the standard of the company’s operations.
Setting an example
Old-growth forest issues are particularly important in
Russia. Stora Enso frequently discusses these questions
with the relevant authorities and non-governmental
environmental organisations. The company is also
involved in the Pskov Model Forest project, which aims
to develop an environmentally appropriate, socially
beneficial and economically viable forest management
model, and to encourage the application of positive
experiences gained in the Pskov Region in other parts
of northern Russia. The documentation Stora Enso
requires about the origin of wood is controlled through
on-site environmental audits. All the major local and
regional stakeholders are participating in this project,
along with the Swedish International Development
Agency (SIDA), WWF Germany and Stora Enso.

with regional operational support teams for Finland,
Sweden, Continental Europe and North America,
backed up by a team of specialists.
Environmental management has long been identified as the key to improving environmental performance, and Stora Enso has developed its own systems to
guarantee continuous improvement and uniform practices throughout the Group. As soon as third-partyaudited systems became available Stora Enso was one of
the first companies to adopt them, and realise the benefits of transparency in environmental quality work.
An internal review has been conducted to assess the
business value of the environmental management systems (EMS) so far implemented. The review has indicated that the most important benefits are:
• Improved environmental performance (e.g. better
separation of waste, less landfill, better forest management, lower energy and water consumption).
• Increased trust from stakeholders (e.g. customers and
authorities).
• Enhanced awareness and knowledge of environmental issues amongst employees, as indicated by the
greater numbers of proposals for environmental
improvements coming from employees, for instance.
• Cost savings related to lower consumption and emissions figures, as well as better prices for insurance,
facilitated by consistent improvements across the
company.
Stora Enso is currently bringing various management
approaches related to environmental, safety, and quality issues into line with the corporate business improve-

ment model, based on the “Total Quality Management”
philosophy.
By the end of 2000, 80% (up from 76% in 1999) of
the company’s pulp, paper and board production capacity was covered by ISO 14001 and/or EMAS.
During 2000 ten more units were certified according to ISO 14001 and/or registered according to EMAS.
In the U.S., Stora Enso North America aims to have all
pulp and paper production, including the related forest
resources operations, ready for certification by the end
of 2001, and certified by the end of 2002.
Emphasising the importance of continuous improvement in all sectors, Stora Enso’s Group Management
recommends that systematic environmental management procedures should also be introduced in service
units. Group Management has also clarified the Group’s
principles for the implementation of formalised systems
and procedures in production units. The new basic
principles for the implementation of EMS are:
• Major production units, i.e. pulp, paper and board
mills, must all have EMS. Certification and/or registration is recommended, but optional.
• For minor production units, like sawmills and core
factories, basic environmental management procedures such as environmental impact assessment,
assignment of environmental responsibility, and
environmental training of personnel, are compulsory.
The implementation of formal EMS is strongly
recommended.
• In wood procurement the adoption of basic environmental management procedures is compulsory, and
the implementation of formal EMS is strongly recommended. This complements the company’s strong
commitment to forest certification (see page 15).
• Service units like Transport and Distribution, Purchasing, R&D, and Administration, will either be required
or strongly recommended to introduce basic environmental management procedures, depending on their
environmental significance.

Environmental investments
and annual
costs
In 2000, Stora Enso spent EUR 2291) million on environmental investments and costs, compared to EUR 171
million in 1999. This spending includes capital expenditure as well as operating and maintenance costs, but
excludes interest and depreciation. Total environmental
investments amounted to EUR 103 million, while environmental costs totalled EUR 127 million.
Major investments which were completed or in
their final stages during 2000 include the biological
waste water treatment plant at Skutskär Mill, the evaporation plant at Gruvön Mill and the gasification plant
at Varkaus Mill.
At Anjalankoski a combined heat and power plant
was taken into use along with a thermal dryer, designed
to increase the energy value of fibre sludge.
Some projects are still ongoing, such as the extension of Hylte Mill’s waste water treatment plant and the
new fibre line at Imatra Mill. Extension work at Varkaus
Mill’s waste water treatment plant was decided in 2000
and started in the beginning of 2001. This project is
expected to cost EUR 10 million.
In Finland a new Environmental Protection Act has
been in force since March 2000. In accordance with the
EU principle of IPPC (Integrated Pollution Prevention
and Control), the following pulp, paper and/or board
mills have to renew all their environmental permits by
the end of 2004 at the latest: Anjalankoski, Corenso
Pori, Enocell, Heinola Fluting, Imatra, Kemijärvi, Kotka,
Oulu, Pankakoski, Summa, Varkaus, and Veitsiluoto.
Also the following Stora Enso units are due to
update their environmental permits between 2001 and
2005: Ala Sawmill, Berghuizer, Biron, Celbi, Corbehem,
Corenso St. Seurin-sur-l’Isle, Duluth, Falun Red Paint,
Gruvön Sawmill, Honkalahti Sawmill, Hylte, Kabel,

Skoghall, Skutskär, Stevens Point, Whiting, Wisconsin
Rapids Paperboard, Paper and Pulp Mills, Water Quality
Center, and Water Renewal Center.
Estimates indicate that a total of EUR 70 million
will be required to cover future corporate environmental liabilities, compared to EUR 48 million reported in
1999. The increase is mainly due to the closure of
Newton Kyme Mill and the acquisition of Consolidated
Papers, Inc. The implementation plan includes major
remediation projects such as the decommissioning
activities at the Falu Mine, the clean-up of mercury
contamination at the former chloralkali plant at
Skoghall, and the final safe disposal of mercury at
Skutskär harbour.
There are currently no active or pending legal
claims concerning environmental issues which could
have a major impact on Stora Enso’s financial position.

Wood procurement
Stora Enso’s objective in wood procurement is to supply the company’s mills with raw material
at competitive costs according to high social and environmental standards, giving special
consideration to ecological values. The major sources of wood in Europe and North America are
small private forest holdings, larger holdings such as state-owned forests, and land leased or
owned by the company. In the Southern Hemisphere, fast-growing plantations
have been established in areas of low value and biodiversity.

Fibre strategy – a holistic approach
The Group’s fibre strategy uses a holistic approach, covering economic, social and environmental considerations, and concerning also other sources of fibre than
wood. Stora Enso operates in all the world’s major forest zones. This is a unique asset, but at the same time
complicates matters, since the strategy must be feasible
in a whole range of ecological and socio-economic conditions. The aim is that fibre sources must everywhere
be clearly acceptable and sustainable both environmentally and socially. Stora Enso’s fibre strategy is designed
to ensure continuous improvements are made towards
these goals.
The sustainability principles for wood and fibre
procurement are defined in the strategy at a general
level, stressing environmental, social and economic
acceptability, and compliance with the Group’s other
values and policies. These principles also concern external suppliers, and more specific guidelines are already
being formulated.
A universal goal for Stora Enso’s operations is the
full documentation of the origin of fibre. The Group is
striving to complete a system to enable our customers
to trace the origin of wood and its route from the forest
to the mill. However, due to the company’s rapid
expansion, the management and documentation of
certain fibre sources are still to be updated. Suppliers
are contractually bound to the principles of sustainable
wood procurement. Environmental management systems play a central role here, while forest certification
also helps to document the origin of fibre. National
wood procurement principles always comply with
national legislation, and set higher standards whenever
possible.
Forest certification and
environmental management systems
Stora Enso is developing forest certification according to
three main principles. The first principle is that forest
certification schemes must be specifically developed
according to the varying prerequisites of each country
or region. Secondly, Stora Enso as an international company supports the mutual recognition of credibly built
certification schemes. But even while there is progress
with such certification schemes, other existing measures
such as the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System must also be developed further. This third principle
is especially important where there are no immediate
prospects for forest certification.
Finland
Stora Enso Metsä has updated its EMAS report in 2000
and rewritten its environmental principles for wood
procurement to comply with the Group’s Environmental and Social Responsibility Policy.
Stora Enso Metsä participates in the Finnish Forest
Certification System (FFCS), which had certified about
95% of Finnish forests by the end of 2000. FFCS is
endorsed by the Pan-European Forest Certification
Scheme (PEFC). A chain-of-custody certification scheme
based on material flows accounting is currently being
set up, and will be included in the existing ISO 14001
environmental management system. This will mean
that production units can be informed about the percentages of PEFC-certified wood in their raw material.
The other main method for verifying certified raw
material is physical segregation. This method may be
useful when markets require products made of raw
material exclusively from PEFC-certified forests.
Ecological landscape planning has been progressing
in Stora Enso’s own forest holdings. In 2000, three new
plans were prepared, covering 10,000 hectares. There
are now eight such plans in all, covering a total area of
30,000 hectares, with more to come. Inventories of ecologically valuable biotopes in the company’s forest
holdings started in 1995. During summer 2000, 70% of
the forests originally inventoried in 1995 and 1996 were
re-surveyed due to changes in forest and environmental
legislation, and the other areas will be inventoried in
summer 2001.
Sweden
All the major forest-owning companies, including
Stora Enso, have their forests in Sweden certified by the
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), under which 45%
of Sweden’s forest area was certified by the end of 2000.
A further 5%, mainly small-scale forests, is certified
according to PEFC.
Ecological landscape plans have been preliminarily
approved or drafted for some 40% of Stora Enso’s
Swedish forest holdings. Almost the whole area has
been covered by key biotope inventories to provide a
basis for planning. Ecological landscape planning will
be completed by 2003 at the latest. All Stora Enso
Sweden’s forests are FSC-certified. Regarding chain-ofcustody certificates, all transportation of wood from
Stora Enso’s forests to weighing stations is also certified
according to FSC. This includes parts of the Tree-TrainSystem that have their own special certificates. Furthermore, all the Swedish sawmills and Norrsundet Pulp
Mill have FSC chain-of-custody certificates.

Stora Enso Skog can now help other forest owners
to certify their forest holdings under a group certificate,
in accordance with the FSC standard. Stora Enso Skog’s
own certification model has been approved.
The Wood Supply Unit at Stora Enso Skog went
through ISO 14001 and EMAS certification audits in
December 2000. The certificate will most likely be
granted to Stora Enso Skog in early 2001, when the
new EMAS report will also be finalised. Stora Enso
Skog’s Ludvika management region was also certified
according to ISO 14001 in December 1999, having been
the first forest area in the whole country to receive
FSC certification back in 1996.
A sample of final fellings was internally audited
during 2000 according to Stora Enso Skog’s own guidelines, which meet the Swedish FSC standard. The results
show a steady improvement in environmental performance since 1994.

moratoriums in the Republic of Karelia and the Murmansk Region continued during 2000. In Vologda,
Stora Enso met the forest authorities, NGOs and other
companies to resolve the old-growth moratorium.
A new conservation area was designated in Atleka.
The Pskov Model Forest project (2000–2003) started, and the first phase of Taiga model forest project was
completed. The aim of the Pskov project is to develop
a model for sustainable forestry in European Northern
Russia (see page 11). The Taiga Project (1997–2000),
based in the village of Matrosy in the Republic of
Karelia, had similar aims to the Pskov project, but
more emphasis on research co-operation between the
Universities of Joensuu in Finland and Petrozavodsk
in Russia.
Russia and the Baltic Countries
Stora Enso Skog is responsible for international wood
procurement from the Baltic Countries, while Stora
Enso Metsä covers imports from Russia. During the first
phase the wood imported from Russia and the Baltic
Countries is still non-certified. The question of which
forest certification systems will be implemented in
these countries remains open.
Stora Enso Forest Baltic formulated its environmental programme in 2000. This includes the implementation of a chain-of-custody system for the Baltic Countries. The organisation is also taking steps towards
introducing a suitable environmental management
system, and has started a comprehensive training
programme for personnel, suppliers, and contractors.

Stora Enso Port Hawkesbury Limited’s Woodlands Division in Nova Scotia manages 607,000 hectares of forest
under licence from the provincial government. The
Woodlands Environmental Management System, covering forest planning, road construction, harvesting and
silviculture on company-managed lands and all wood
transportation, is ISO 14001-certified.
Progress in Sustainable Forest Management is continuing, and Stora Enso has participated in over 40 public input sessions throughout the area during the past
two years. In November 2000, Stora Enso Port Hawkesbury established a Public Advisory Committee to
improve forest management planning. The committee
was selected by an independent consultant to provide a
cross-section of local stakeholder viewpoints. The
Woodlands Division strives to meet the forestry certification criteria of the Canadian Standards Association
program for Sustainable Forest Management (SFM).
The Joint Management Plan, in cooperation with local
landowners’ and fibre-producers’ associations and the
provincial government, provides full silviculture funding for private forest owners. The company administers
and provides 50% of the funding for this program, and
has also established a Forest Stewardship Program to

Organisation and key figures
Stora Enso Forest is the wood procurement organisation for Finnish and Swedish mills, and consists
of Stora Enso Metsä in Finland, and Stora Enso
Skog in Sweden. These organisations also manage
the company’s forest holdings in Finland and
Sweden.
Stora Enso Metsä is also responsible for international wood procurement from Russia, and Stora Enso
Skog deals with imports from the Baltic Countries.
A new Central European organisation for wood
procurement will start to operate during 2001.
Stora Enso North America is responsible for wood
procurement for operations in Canada and the U.S.
Wood is the most important raw material for Stora
Enso. The Group used a total of 42 million m3 of
wood in 2000, three fourths of which was procured
in Western Europe. Most wood is either purchased
domestically from small privately-owned forest
holdings and larger state-owned forests, or imported.
Stora Enso owns 3.0 million hectares of forest,
including 1.9 million hectares in Sweden (1.6 million hectares of which is productive forest land).
The company also has plantations in South
America and South-East Asia, and has doubled its
share in the Kalimantan plantations in Indonesia
from 30% to 60%.
The company’s forest operations in Portugal,
Stora Enso Celbi, cover 45,000 hectares of
Eucalyptus globulus.
Stora Enso also leases 0.6 million hectares of
forest, mostly in Nova Scotia, Canada.

throughout North America in 2001.
The main benefits of efficiency audits are the identification of best practices and potential improvements
in the production and consumption of heat and electricity.
Mills have also been able to learn from each other’s
energy management systems and other routine operations. Scheduled energy efficiency meetings and special
energy teams have been particularly useful in this
respect. Training has also proven to be important in

Increased use of bio-fuels
During 2000 several important projects were completed,
while others were started. In many cases a common feature is the increased use of bio-fuels.
At Pankakoski Mill, for instance, the new bio-fuel
boiler’s capacity replaces about 14,000 tonnes of heavy
fuel oil per year. At Wisconsin Rapids Pulp Mill, modifications in boilers’ wood waste and air handling systems are reducing the consumption of natural gas and
increasing the use of bark and wood waste. At the
Duluth Paper Mill, cooperation with the local electricity
utility on renewed delivery systems to the boilers allows
for a greater use of bark, wood wastes and chipped railroad ties. At Anjalankoski, a combined heat and power
plant was taken into use, along with a thermal dryer
designed to increase the energy value of fibre sludge.
28.3.2001
21:07
Sivu 19
In general, converting grate boilers into fluidisedbed boilers improves boiler efficiency, and allows the
use of a wider range of fuels, especially bio-fuels.
Gruvön Mill is now running a new recovery boiler,
while a new evaporation plant will start operating
during January 2001. These two projects together will
allow the burning of more bio-fuels in the bark boiler,
and save on oil consumption. The mill will also supply
the Grums municipality with district heating from its
secondary heat surplus. The Gruvön Sawmill will meanwhile be supplied with heat from the Gruvön Pulp and
Paper Mill.
Stora Enso and Vapo Oy agreed on the collection
of logging residue in Finland. At the forest owners’
request, tree branches and tops in regeneration areas
can now also be harvested in suitable areas. This agreement will improve the utilisation of forest chips in
Finland.
Optimisation enhances energy efficiency
Other investments in increased energy efficiency
include the utilisation of new technology in the press
sections of paper and board machines. The installation
of a shoe-press at Kabel Mill in 1999, for example, led
to a 10–15% reduction in steam consumption levels in
paper machine 5 during 2000. After shoe-pressing,
paper contains less water, and requires less steam for
the drying process. Energy consumption can also be
reduced by adjusting the dryer section to optimise the
moisture of the paper. At Anjalankoski Mill staff training has also helped in this respect.
Berghuizer Mill provides a good example of how
the consumption of elecricity can be optimised by
introducing an analysing system. In April 2001 an
energy monitoring system will be launched to help
operators reach their efficiency targets. The system will
provide on-line data from the 70 power-consuming
units in the papermaking process. An energy reduction
target of 8% within four years has been set within the
framework of ISO 14001, to comply with government
regulations, and reduce operating costs.
At Varkaus Pulp Mill, a new handling and burning
system was built for dissolving tank gases at the recovery boiler. At the Nymölla Mill, a new mechanical
vapour steam compression plant has been taken into
operation, upgrading waste steam to primary steam.
This facilitates meeting increasing demands for steam
by releasing extra bark boiler capacity, and saves about
8,000 m3 of heavy fuel oil annually.
Efficient operations, renewable sources
The Kyoto Protocol and its targets make using more
renewable energy sources and further improving energy
efficiency even more vital. Stora Enso sees opportunities
for further increases in its use of bio-fuels and combined
heat and power generating schemes (CHP), as well as
more scope for improvements in energy efficiency.
Bio-fuels already account for some 64% of the
Stora Enso Group’s total annual fuel consumption in
energy production. Natural gas amounts to about 18%,
and the rest is divided between peat, oil and coal. CHP
production covers 32% of the Group’s total electricity
consumption of 24 TWh.
During 2000 there were major changes in the company’s structure in terms of energy – including the
divestment of major energy assets and the acquisition
of Consolidated Papers, Inc. in August 2000. Even

Waste

Waste and residuals management
management
Stora Enso strives to reduce waste by finding beneficial
uses for residual materials. As a result of this work, the
company’s overall need for landfill waste disposal has
been further reduced, by 3% during 2000. The following examples highlight the steps taken to improve ecoefficiency.
At Anjalankoski Mill, a new sludge drier was taken
into use in December. A thermal treatment plant will
increase the energy value of the fibre sludge, making it
a more efficient bio-fuel, and reducing the need for
landfill.
Imatra Mill is now using all the ash from boilers, as
well as considerable quantities of green liquor and fibre
sludge, as bottom layers in their own landfill site. Next
year the unit will continue to rebuild the site, using
similar residual products in the top layer.
At Stora Enso’s mills in Sweden, waste has been
reduced by 7%, thanks to focused efforts to find useful
applications for residuals. This has helped to reduce the
impact of the new waste tax of EUR 28/wet tonne for
landfill waste disposal, introduced in January 2000.
Green liquor sludge, de-inking sludge, and ash from the
incineration of de-inking sludge are not covered by the
tax.
Skoghall Mill has reduced landfill by incinerating
part of the sludge produced during chemical precipitation in the bark boiler, and by increasing recycling in
the coating kitchen. Meanwhile, Fors Mill has reduced
landfill by finding an external application for its residual products as a covering layer for a nearby mine reclamation site.
An innovative method to incinerate de-inking
sludge and re-use the filler has been developed at Hylte
Mill. This process has been operated on a pilot scale,
and filler has been produced for full-scale testing at one
of the mill’s paper machines. This method holds the
potential for another significant reduction in landfill.
Stora Enso North America has continued to monitor the effects of the ConsoGro Programme, which
involves turning sludge into a nitrogenous fertiliser.
Ongoing research is continually providing new information on the agricultural impacts of this application.
The many economic, agronomic and environmental
advantages of the programme include a reduction in
the need for costly landfills, savings in fertiliser costs,
improved yields, an increased supply of other valuable
nutrients, increased water holding capacity in sandy
soils, improved drainage in heavy soils, reduced percolation of nutrients, pesticides and herbicides into groundwater, and less wind erosion.
The sludge is a residual from Stora Enso’s
Waste Water Treatment Plant at Wisconsin Rapids.
About 1,000 hectares of agricultural land are spread
with ConsoGro every year.
However, ConsoGro is just one example of the
work which has made Stora Enso an industry leader in
the U.S. in finding beneficial uses for waste materials.
During 1999 and the first three quarters of 2000, Stora
Enso’s U.S. manufacturing facilities beneficially re-used
about 83% of the high volume waste they generated.
High volume wastes include bio-solids from waste water
treatment, wood waste, boiler ash, and lime solids.
Some 9,300 tonnes of waste, representing a tiny
fraction of the total amount of waste produced by Stora
Enso, is classified as hazardous waste, and is processed,
transported and safely disposed of by licensed specialist
companies.

Recycled fibre
Recycled fibre
Stora Enso is committed to further increasing the use of
recovered paper, from the level of 2.2 million tonnes
utilised in Stora Enso mills during 2000.
The paper industry already has intensive and wellestablished recycling operations. Environmentally efficient recycling cuts costs and the use of raw-materials,
and is both market-driven and industry-led. Recoverable materials are sorted at source, and recycling operations can be organised on a local or regional scale, even
across national borders. Stora Enso strives to use recovered paper as near as possible to where it is collected.
The Confederation of European Paper Industries
(CEPI) published a declaration on recycled fibre in
2000. The declaration contained an industry-wide
commitment to reach a higher recycling target at the
European level, with 56% of paper and board to be
recycled by 2005. CEPI points out that a total collection

rate of 100% is practically impossible. Some papers,
such as tissues, cigarette papers and wallpaper, can
never be recovered. Estimates suggest that these kinds
of unrecoverable paper and board grades can amount to
15% to 20% of total consumption.
Levels of utilisation vary by grade
European statistics show that newsprint makes up just
about 12% of Western Europe’s paper production, but
on average it contains over 60% recovered fibres, well
above the 45% average utilisation rate for all types of
paper. Old newspapers and magazines indeed make up
95% of the recovered paper mix used to make
newsprint. In fine papers, on the other hand, the rather
low utilisation rate of recovered fibre is due to technical
problems with functionality and the quality of the final
product, especially where coated grades are concerned.

Stora Enso’s utilisation rate for recycled newspaper is
40%.
The Nordic Countries play an important role,
adding fresh fibre for recycling operations in continental Europe. Due to technical limitations, paper cannot
be recycled indefinitely, and not all paper grades can be
made of recovered fibres, so virgin fibres will always
remain an essential element in paper and board production.
In Sweden and Finland, paper is already very efficiently collected and recycled (respective rates of 61%
and 65%), but there is still potential for increasing
levels of recovery elsewhere in Europe.
Stora Enso also supports the American Forest &
Paper Association’s 50% Paper Recovery Goal. About
ten years ago, the United States paper industry made
a commitment to expand paper recycling to 40% of all
the paper used in the United States. This goal was
achieved a year ahead of schedule, and the new goal to
recover 50% of all paper was set. An assessment made
in May 2000 indicates that the industry is halfway to
this goal – at 45% recovery.
Stora Enso North America collected more than
3,000 tonnes of waste paper from the community at
the Wisconsin Rapids Paperboard Mill’s waste paper
collection centre during 2000. This paper was used as
raw material by the Wisconsin Rapids Paper Mill, where
annual waste paper purchasing costs were reduced by
EUR 0.3 million. Consolidated Papers, Inc. has
collected and recycled waste paper for the manufacture
of paperboard since 1917. In addition to using recovered paper to make paperboard, the company produces
pulp from recycled office paper.
Fresh fibre
Recovered fibre
Paper cannot be recycled indefinitely, so fresh fibres will
always be essential in paper production.
Major projects in 2000
Corenso has developed a new type of gasification plant
in Varkaus, Finland, which allows recovered liquid
packaging board from drinks cartons containing polyethylene and aluminium as well as fibres to be separated into its useful material components. The process
converts the polymer component into a gas used to
produce energy, while the fibre is used in the production of core. The recovery of the remaining aluminium
component will greatly reduce the amount of waste
going to landfill sites.
Keräyskuitu Oy in Karhula has renewed the flotation process for de-inking. This will increase the capacity of the flotation cells by 30%, and the pulp produced
will be whiter. This new technology is based on a simple physical phenomenon: a difference in fluid density.
This means that pumping is not needed any more, so
specific energy consumption is expected to decrease.
Recycled fibre use 2000
Old corrugated containers 10%
Printing & writing, wood-free 8%
Newsprint & pamphlets 72%
Liquid packaging board
+ wrappings 6%
Cartonboard + other 4%
Total 2.2 million tonnes.

Transport
Transport
Stora Enso is one of Europe’s largest transport purchasers. The total flow of raw materials and products in
and out of the Group’s mills amounts to 68 million
tonnes a year. This underlines the fundamental importance of finding transport solutions with improved
environmental performance. With this aim in mind,
Stora Enso has defined the following principles for
transport:
• We are actively promoting transport solutions with
improved environmental performance.
• Action plans are systematically updated and
followed up. Selected transport chains are measured
and analyzed.
• Whenever there are structural transport changes,
environmental assessment is carried out.
• We require that our transport service suppliers inform
us about, and continuously improve, their environmental performance.

These principles are now to be integrated into everyday
operations throughout the Group. The following examples highlight the work that is already being done.
New transport solutions
The Base Port transport system started up in 2000. The
system is designed to transport products efficiently
from mills in Sweden to markets in continental Europe
and elsewhere overseas, via Zeebrugge, Belgium. To
make the whole system as efficient as possible, Swedish
rail traffic and international shipping have been integrated thanks to a new loading technique, the Stora
Enso Cargo Unit. Environmental performance was a key
factor in the system design, and positive results have
already been obtained during the start-up period:

• The three ships use catalytic emission reduction
equipment. The consequent reductions in NOx
emissions have proved to be as dramatic as
expected – 90%.
• The vessels run on low-sulphur fuel (<1% S),
which leads to a 75% reduction in emissions,
compared to standard maritime fuel.
• The vessels use electricity from the mains supply in
the Port of Gothenburg. This reduces CO2 emissions
by 800 tonnes a year. The reductions in noise and
particle emissions are also significant.
In the year to come, with growing experience, and
increasing volumes passing through the system, still
further improvements are confidently expected.

distances from several of the company's important mills
in eastern Finland. The new Mussalo terminal has been
tailor-made for Stora Enso, and represents the best
available technology in terms of environmental performance. Freight routing will be gradually shifted from
Helsinki to Kotka during 2001, reducing CO2 emissions.
Evaluation
By carefully evaluating transport links and chains, Stora
Enso can learn more about transportation systems and
their environmental impacts. The environmental effects
of any changes in transport infrastructure can also be
repeatedly assessed.
For example Stora Enso’s Sachsen Mill has implemented a system designed to estimate the amounts of

Rearranging wood flows to Skutskär and Gruvön Mills
has led to a 99% decrease in CO2 emissions.
The total flow of transported materials and products
amounts to 68 million tonnes a year.
Stora Enso Skog has reorganised the transportation
of wood to Gruvön Mill (see the map above). Rearranging wood flows to Skutskär and Gruvön Mills has led to
a 99% decrease in CO2 emissions. Previously wood was
transported from the company’s forests in the Dalarna
region to Skutskär Mill on the east coast, while wood
imported from the Baltic Countries was transported by
ship to the east coast and then on by rail and truck to
the inland mill at Gruvön. A number of changes and
investments in terminals and ports have now made it
possible to start up a radically different wood flow system. Wood from Dalarna is now transported directly by
rail to Gruvön Mill, and the imported wood from the
Baltic Countries is shipped directly into Skutskär Mill’s
own harbour. The new system involves much less transportation overall.
In southern Finland Stora Enso will direct all container transport through Mussalo harbour in Kotka.
This will particularly cut the land transportation
emissions from transportation. This tool provides vital
information about the absolute and specific amounts of
emissions, and has been in use since 1998.
Stora Enso has developed a management system for
transport purchasers called Transport Chain Assessment
(TCA). This system covers supplier relations (Compass),
a tool for calculation (Profile), and continuous improvement and development (Project Portfolio).
Stora Enso Transport and Distribution and Stora
Enso Skog also use the Compass scheme to communicate Stora Enso’s position and the relevant demands to
transport suppliers. About 400 transport suppliers have
been registered and evaluated in the scheme. Some 90%
already fulfil Stora Enso’s requirements, while the
remaining 10% are still under assessment and have
been encouraged to take the necessary steps.

Comments on environmental performance
Emissions and waste per tonne produced*)
COD
The year 2000 marked another year of environmental
progress. In spite of an increased production of pulp,
paper and board, emissions were generally lower than
in the preceding year. Corrected for the increased production, SO2 and NOx emission levels were down by 8%
and the discharges to water of COD, AOX and Nitrogen
were reduced by 6–7%. Only Phosphorus discharges
were higher in absolute terms, but when corrected for
the increased production even Phosphorus discharges
were reduced slightly.
Landfilling of waste was reduced by 3% in absolute
terms and 7% in specific terms. This is due to focused
efforts to find useful applications for residual products.
The reason for the overall improvement in environmental performance is a great number of smaller
improvements driven by the structured environmental
management approach throughout the company. Some
individual performances are however of particular significance to the overall improvements. Prime examples
are the COD reduction at Port Hawkesbury Mill, the
waste reductions at Imatra Mill, Oulu Mill, Fors Mill,
and Wisconsin Rapids Pulp Mill, and the SO2 emission
reductions at Corbehem Mill and Niagara Mill.

Reported production refers exclusively to end
products. Production of sawn timber is reported in m3, other products in tonnes. Figures
refer to saleable net production excluding
inventory changes.
b) Waste is reported in its dry state. Original dry
content and volume-to-weight conversion are
in some cases estimates.
c) SOX is calculated as SO2 (sulphur dioxide) and
includes all sulphurous compounds.
d) NOX is calculated as NO2 (nitrogen dioxide).
e) Figures refer to the whole of 2000 although
Consolidated Papers, Inc. was only aquired in
August 2000. Also figures from 1999 are
included in the grand totals.
f) WQC serves Biron Mill, Wisconsin Rapids Paper
Mill and Wisconsin Rapids Pulp Mill.
g) WRC serves Stevens Point Mill and Whiting
Mill.
h) Relatively high SO2 and NOx values are due to
the 27% share of coal in the energy mix for
U.S. facilities and the design of coal-fired boilers.
i)
No energy production on site.
j)
Estimation is based on fuel mixture and design
of the boilers.
k) Process water is treated in the external treatment facility.
l)
Reduced amount of landfill disposal is due to
new applications for various residual products
and/or improved solid waste management.
m) Reduced emission of SO2 is due to decreased
use of fossil fuels and/or new boiler installation.
n) Reduced emission of SO2 is due to liquidation
of chemical pulp production.
o) Reduced discharge of COD is due to installation of new process water treatment facilities
and/or improved waste water management.
p) Change from last year is due to compiling
error.
q) Market pulp is not included previous year.
r) Increased amount of landfill disposal is due to
temporary marketing problems with residual
products.

Reported production refers exclusively to end
products. Production of sawn timber is reported in m3, other products in tonnes. Figures
refer to saleable net production excluding
inventory changes.
b) Waste is reported in its dry state. Original dry
content and volume-to-weight conversion are
in some cases estimates.
c) SOX is calculated as SO2 (sulphur dioxide) and
includes all sulphurous compounds.
d) NOX is calculated as NO2 (nitrogen dioxide).
e) Figures refer to the whole of 2000 although
Consolidated Papers, Inc. was only aquired in
August 2000. Also figures from 1999 are
included in the grand totals.
f) WQC serves Biron Mill, Wisconsin Rapids Paper
Mill and Wisconsin Rapids Pulp Mill.
g) WRC serves Stevens Point Mill and Whiting
Mill.
h) Relatively high SO2 and NOx values are due to
the 27% share of coal in the energy mix for
U.S. facilities and the design of coal-fired boilers.
i)
No energy production on site.
j)
Estimation is based on fuel mixture and design
of the boilers.
k) Process water is treated in the external treatment facility.
l)
Reduced amount of landfill disposal is due to
new applications for various residual products
and/or improved solid waste management.
m) Reduced emission of SO2 is due to decreased
use of fossil fuels and/or new boiler installation.
n) Reduced emission of SO2 is due to liquidation
of chemical pulp production.
o) Reduced discharge of COD is due to installation of new process water treatment facilities
and/or improved waste water management.
p) Change from last year is due to compiling
error.
q) Market pulp is not included previous year.
r) Increased amount of landfill disposal is due to
temporary marketing problems with residual
products.

Infractions, complaints
and corrective measures
With few exceptions, the requirements of the environmental permits regulating production
at Stora Enso’s various units were fulfilled by comfortable margins.
Infractions
The permitted COD limit was temporarily exceeded (by
16%) at Pankakoski Mill in February due to a breakage
in a waste water pipe. This section of pipeline, running
through the bottom of a river was repaired promptly,
and then replaced with a subterranean pipeline in September, so that the whole pipeline now runs underground.
At Veitsiluoto Mill waste water loads between the
pulp and paper mills and treatment plants were exceptionally high after the Christmas shutdown, and the
BOD limit was slightly exceeded in January. The authorities were satisfied with the measures taken by Veitsiluoto Mill to solve this problem however, and no penalties
were imposed.
At Heinola Fluting Mill the environmental authorities have requested an account of how certain waste
water outlet limits were temporarily exceeded. The
causes were a proliferation of filamentous bacteria in
the activated sludge system coupled with the unsatisfactory performance of the anaerobic process. To address
this problem, new equipment feeding liquid oxygen
into the aeration basin was installed near the end of
2000, and fresh sludge was also added to the anaerobic
plant. The related investigations, and negotiations with
the authorities on further measures to be taken, will
continue into 2001.
The Water Quality Center at Wisconsin Rapids
(WQC) exceeded its maximum BOD levels for two days
in May, which led to a notification from the local
32
Stora
Enso
Environmental
Report
authorities. The violations were due to unsuccessful
attempts to treat high soap and liquor losses from the
Wisconsin Rapids Pulp Mill. A plan of action was made,
including operational and equipment changes at the
pulp mill and its waste water treatment facility. The
authorities accepted the plan and no penalties were
imposed. The WQC also treats waste water from the
Biron Mill and the Wisconsin Rapids Paper Mill.
The Wisconsin Rapids Pulp Mill received a notice of
violation for particulate emissions from a smelt-dissolving tank. The plant’s scrubber system was then upgraded
during the July maintenance outage and performance
testing indicated comfortable compliance with the particulate limits. The authorities still require particulate
emission testing until compliance is demonstrated.
The federal environmental protection agency has
criticised Wisconsin Rapids Pulp Mill for violations of
the Clean Air Act related to projects between 1983 and
1991. The agency also requires the installation of air
emission control equipment, and has imposed penalties. Stora Enso North America made a counter proposal
designed to resolve the alleged violations. Discussions
with the federal authorities are continuing in an
attempt to resolve the situation.
Compensation claims
Two eel-fishing parties made complaints against Nymölla
Mill, claiming that their catches had declined. A settlement was reached, and the case dating from the 1980’s
was also withdrawn from the environmental court.

At Skutskär Mill blasting work for the harbour and
quay project caused some minor damage, which has
been repaired. A second complaint at Skutskär concerned the discharge of dust from a recovery boiler during its shutdown period. Some of the dust settled onto
a house nearby, and minor measures had to be taken,
such as cleaning windows.
Summa Mill paid compensation to local residents
when the water in the Summa River fell below its regulated level during the exceptionally dry summer of
1999. The mill was nevertheless granted special permission to continue taking water from the river.
Barcelona Mill clarified its operating mode with the
municipal plant currently treating its waste water, and
the two waste water claims pending from 1999 were
cancelled.
Corrective measures
At Berghuizer Mill a complaint concerning odours was
received by the local authorities. Corrective measures
have already been taken, involving improving the management of the waste water treatment plant and investing in equipment to reduce starch leakages during the
production process. During the second half of 2000 no
new complaints about odours were recorded, but
odours from the water treatment plant are still being
monitored on a daily basis.
At Keräyskuitu Oy in Kotka, small amounts of fibres
from the de-inked pulp drying process were being
released into the air. In order to prevent this problem a
new fan and heat exchanger with a higher capacity was
started up in December 2000.
Fors Mill is working together with the local authorities and stakeholders in order to discover the origin and
composition of material that occasionally rises to the
surface of Lake Bäsingen.
Fifty litres of oil was spilled into a lake near Enocell
Mill in May, but a new control system has now been
installed to avoid similar spills.
In Heinola, the local authorities have received complaints about noise levels in Heinola Packaging Mill.
A decision has now been made to renew the offending
box plant waste treatment system during 2001.
Riga Mill has had to pay fines to the Riga city waste
water treatment plant for emitting excessive levels of
copper, COD, and oil products. During 2000 the sources
of these emissions were analysed, and plans have been
made to reduce the amount of water used, and re-circulate cooling water.
During the coming enlargement of Kabel Mill’s
waste water treatment plant measures will be taken to
prevent the reoccurrence of odours which have previously attracted complaints.

Statement
We have examined the financial information presented on page 13
and the information regarding resource utilisation and environmental performance presented on pages 26–31 of the Stora Enso
Group’s Environmental Report 2000. The information in the report
is the responsibility of and has been approved by the management
of the Group.
The management of the Group commissioned us to perform the
procedures set out below:
• Assess the procedures used to collect quantitative information on
environmental issues selected by the management, from those
production units included in the report.
• Assess whether this information obtained from the production
units has been compiled correctly and presented appropriately.
• Assess whether the information in the report is in all materiality
consistent with similar information in the 2000 Annual Report
of the Group.
Our work consisted of meetings with management responsible for
environmental issues and examination of information compiled by
Stora Enso Environment.
In our opinion the quantitative information of the Stora Enso
Group presented on the above-mentioned pages of the Environmental Report 2000 is based on information collected with due
care from the production units. Further, it is our opinion that this
information is presented in an appropriate manner in the report.

chlorine bound to organic pollutants, in waste water for example.
– Fuels derived from renewable raw materials, such as bark and logging residuals.
– Habitat. An area that is naturally distinct as a result of its local climate,
soil conditions, flora and fauna.
(Biological Oxygen Demand) – A measure of the amount of oxygen consumed by
micro-organism in breaking down organic matter in effluent during a certain period.
(Carbon dioxide) – Carbon dioxide is formed as a result of human and animal
respiration. It is also formed during combustion. Trees utilise carbon dioxide in
the growing process (photosynthesis). Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is
considered to contribute to the greenhouse effect.
(Chemical Oxygen Demand) – Chemical oxygen-consuming substances. A measure
of the amount of oxygen required for the total chemical breakdown of
organic substances in water.
(Eco Management and Audit Scheme) – Voluntary scheme based on an EU directive.
(Finnish Forest Certification System).
(Forest Stewardship Council).
(International Organization for Standardization).
– An international series of environment-related standards.
– Life Cycle Assessment is a method for assessing the environmental
impact of a product ”from the cradle to the grave”.
– An element. A high nitrogen content in water, together with phosphorus and
organic substances, can lead to increased biological activity in water,
known as eutrophication.
– A collective term for the nitrogen oxides formed during combustion.
When precipitation occurs, they can contribute to the acidification of soil and water.
NOx can also, together with hydrocarbons, react with sunlight to form ground-level
ozone.
(Pan-European Forest Certification).
– An element. High phosphorus contents, combined with nitrogen and organic
substances, can cause increased biological activity in water, known as eutrophication.
– A sea, lake, watercourse or the atmosphere which emissions are discharged into.
(Super Calendered) – An uncoated paper produced from mechanical pulp, sulphate
(kraft) pulp and filler (china clay) treated mechanically between steel rolls to achieve
a glossy printing surface. Used primarily for periodicals and advertising materials.
(Sulphur dioxide) – Sulphur dioxide is formed when sulphur-containing fuels such as
oil and coal are burned. Sulphur dioxide contributes to the acidification of soil and water.
