Stora Enso's joint venture Veracel's tree plantations gain FSC certification

Report this content 
Stora Enso's joint venture Veracel in Brazil received Forest Stewardship Council
(FSC) certification for its tree plantations on 13 March 2008. An FSC           
chain-of-custody certificate was simultaneously granted to the mill. Both       
certificates are valid for five years.                                          


All pulp produced at Veracel pulp mill will now be FSC-certified, as of 14 March
2008. Stora Enso's share of the pulp is shipped to various Stora Enso mills     
around the world.                                                               

Veracel's plantations are now certified according to two forest management      
systems - CERFLOR, which is endorsed by the Programme for the Endorsement of    
Forest Certification schemes (PEFC), and FSC.
