Stora Enso is ranked the best Nordic company by the Carbon Disclosure Project   
(CDP) for its reporting on carbon emissions. The company received the highest   
scores in CDP's Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI) that highlights       
companies with the most complete and professional approach to reporting on      
carbon management.                                                              

Stora Enso is also one of the five companies that are included in CDP's new     
Carbon Performance Leadership Index (CPLI). This index complements the CDLI and 
features companies which have demonstrated commitment to their climate strategy,
and most all, reduction in their carbon emissions.                              

“I am humbled by the recognition of Stora Enso as the best Nordic company on    
climate change disclosure. The inclusion of Stora Enso into the Carbon          
Performance Leadership Index together with four other companies, based on our   
actual carbon performance improvements will inspire us to continue on this      
important path,” says Jouko Karvinen, CEO.                                      

The Carbon Disclosure Project's Nordic 200 report was launched today in         
Helsinki. The report ranks the 200 largest companies listed on the Nordic stock 
exchanges that have integrated climate change into a key part of their business 
strategies. The report is based on analysis of the companies' responses to CDP's
2010 questionnaire. Stora Enso has participated in the Carbon Disclosure Project
since 2003.

The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) is an independent non-profit organisation   
backed by over 534 institutional investors with a combined USD 64 trillion of   
assets under management. The CDP gathers information on corporations' greenhouse
gas emissions, climate change related risks and opportunities, and sets         
standards for carbon disclosure methodology and processes. In 2010, over        
3 000 corporations worldwide answered the CDP questionnaire.
