Stora Enso appoints Terhi Koipijärvi as head of its new Global Responsibility function

Wednesday 27. October 2010 - Stora Enso is establishing a new Global Responsibility function and has appointed Terhi Koipijärvi, M.Sc. (Forest Products Marketing), 43, as head of the new entity. She has most recently been Senior Vice President, Environmental Affairs and Corporate Responsibility, at Metsäliitto Group.

Stora Enso’s new Global Responsibility function will be a path-finding
initiative to take traditional sustainability thinking to the next level by
recognising global stakeholder engagement as a separate responsibility equal and
complementary to traditional sustainability.

“We want to take the next step in finding new approaches to corporate social
responsibility and understanding of our stakeholders. Having a strong
sustainability platform, as Stora Enso manifestly has, is a very good starting
point, but in today’s world that is not enough. We must put a lot more emphasis
on dialogue with all our stakeholders around the world – we need to increase our
understanding of the societies we work with and the effects we have on the
people living in those societies,” says Jouko Karvinen, CEO of Stora Enso.

Terhi Koipijärvi will join Stora Enso and start forming the new Global
Responsibility function on 1 November 2010.
