Thursday 03. October 2013 - Stora Enso has been selected for inclusion in the United Nations Global Compact 100, a new global stock index that combines corporate sustainability and financial performance.

“Our company has been committed to the Global Compact’s ten principles for more than ten years now, and we are delighted to be included in the new GC 100 index,” says Lauri Peltola, Stora Enso EVP Global Identity. “UN Global Compact provides an important global platform for companies committed to corporate sustainability and the GC 100 index is a welcome addition.”
