This unified response to an environment in crisis started in the U.S. back in 1970.

Since the launch of Multicopy Zero in 2016 Stora Enso has been supporting three global emission reduction projects. In order to achieve CarbonNeutral® paper certification, we offset an emission volume equal to the emissions produced during the manufacture and distribution of Multicopy Zero. And we are thrilled that our actions are not only helping to tackle climate change, but are also increasing quality of life for the people in these areas, in line with several of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Here’s a follow-up on the offset projects supported by Stora Enso and a deeper look at one of them.

Gasum’s Christian Strandberg and Stora Enso’s Henric Höglind are kind enough to give us a status update.
