STORA ENSO OYJ PRESS RELEASE 25 September 2019 at 15.00 EEST

Stora Enso has received the highest rating for sustainability communications in a study assessing 95 companies listed on the Nasdaq OMX Stockholm Large Cap Index in Sweden. The study is conducted with the aim to explore and measure publicly available sustainability communication, as it has been recognized that companies play a key role in enhancing sustainable development. The report is commissioned by the Mistra Center for Sustainable Markets (MISUM) at the Stockholm School of Economics.

The companies included in the study named “Walking the Talk” are rated based on what they say that they will do (“talk”), and what they say that they have done (“walk”) with regards to Sustainability/Corporate Responsibility. Stora Enso achieved the highest total score of 37/40 as one of two companies and received the highest possible score of 20/20 within the “talk” category. In the “walk” category, Stora Enso achieved the high rating of 17/20. 

“We are proud that our efforts in transparent communications have been acknowledged.  As a sustainability driven company, we value this recognition highly”, says Ulrika Lilja, EVP Communications. “It is very rewarding to receive a strong rating in something that is high on our Group’s agenda and that we allocate a lot of time and resources to,” adds Noel Morrin, EVP Sustainability at Stora Enso.

In addition to the MISUM report, Stora Enso’s Annual report 2018 including the Sustainability report, has been top-ranked by ReportWatch. Our report got the highest A+ ranking among more than 300 reports globally.
