Sales in our core and growth businesses were up by 32.5% year-on-year, while our operational EBIT of EUR 410 million more than doubled compared to the same period last year. This is a result of the execution of our ongoing strategic transformation and the strength of the underlying market. The strategic actions we are taking by focusing the business on key growth areas put us in a strong position to continue to drive sustainable profitability. It is rewarding to see solid top line growth across our strategic focus areas. Packaging Materials and Wood Products divisions delivered all-time high quarterly sales, reinforcing our strong position in these segments. Packaging Solutions also had a good quarter in the established business, with new scalable innovations and services picking up speed. Biomaterials sales grew to a record high third quarter, however higher prices were partly offset by the global logistics disturbances. The Forest division provides the foundation for our strategic business areas, by supplying raw material for our renewable products. Our forest assets are yielding well and grew sales through higher timber volumes and prices. In our Paper division, the quarter was heavily impacted by the structural closures of our sites in Kvarnsveden and Veitsiluoto. After the ongoing restructurings are finalised, the share of Paper sales will move towards 10% of the Group's total sales. We can see already now a turnaround for our remaining, more competitive Paper business. Stora Enso already has a leading position in the packaging segment and today we announced an expansion of board production at our site in Skoghall, Sweden. The nearly EUR 100 million investment will allow us to meet demand within the growing segments of liquid and food packaging. We are also evaluating taking the next step to convert the second production line in Oulu, Finland into packaging grades. The recent successful ramp up and positive market reception of our new premium kraftliner quality, gives us confidence to assess this opportunity as we see strong long-term demand for our sustainable packaging. Our ongoing investments are on track: the construction of our new CLT line is proceeding and scheduled to start operating during the third quarter 2022, and our recycling facility collaboration with Tetra Pak is scheduled to be operational by the beginning of 2023. Our pilot production plant for bio-based battery components is developing according to plan. The carbon market for batteries grows by 30% annually, and an estimated 450 000 tonnes of carbon material per year will be needed already in the coming years. We are currently evaluating the best alternatives in legal structure and suitable partners to further develop this lignin-based innovation. To speed up our growth strategy and to move even closer to our customers and their customers, we are decentralising our operating model. This will strengthen execution of strategy and customer intimacy, empower divisions, enhance business specific processes and drive a performance culture. Leaner Group functions focus on strategic activities and scale synergies. I strongly believe that clear business ownership will help create the winning, innovation-driven culture needed in order to create value and accelerate our growth for the long-term. Sustainability is the backbone of our business. It drives our innovation agenda and our collaborations with customers, partners and suppliers. To strengthen Stora Enso's sustainability ambitions, we announced today new 2030 targets for our key sustainability priorities: climate change, biodiversity and circularity. Furthermore, we have committed to become 100% regenerative by 2050. This means that we are shifting our focus from just minimising environmental impact, towards a net-positive contribution to climate change mitigation, materials circularity, and nature restoration. This is a very ambitious journey, and a necessary one. It puts us in the lead of the much-needed societal transformation: away from fossils and a linear economy. Our new targets will guide our renewable materials strategy and boost our ability to deliver the eco-friendly solutions that the consumers of today and tomorrow demand. Stora Enso fully supports the European Commission’s climate goals. The EU is currently working on several pieces of regulation with relevance and impact on the forest industry. The goal of all initiatives is to enable a “green transformation” and to stay below 1.5C of climate warming. With our regenerative agenda, we will strengthen our sustainable forestry practices and accelerate the use of renewable wood fibers for carbon neutral and circular products. We are part of the solution to enable the transition of our societies away from fossil dependency. The renewable future grows in the forest.” Analysts, investors and media are invited to participate in the webcast and conference call today at 15:00 EEST (14:00 CEST, 13:00 BST, 08:00 EDT).

Stora Enso shares are listed on Nasdaq Helsinki Oy (STEAV, STERV) and Nasdaq Stockholm AB (STE A, STE R) storaenso.com/investors (http://www.storaenso.com/investors/) STORA ENSO OYJ Oct 20, 2021 Stora Enso sets ambitious goal of 100% regenerative solutions by 2050 and announces new 2030 sustainability targets Stora Enso’s ambition is to offer 100% regenerative products and solutions by 2050. By adopting a regenerative stance, Stora Enso is shifting its sustainability goals from minimising negative environmental impact to becoming a net positive[1 ]contributor within the defined focus areas of climate, circularity and biodiversity by 2050. Being regenerative means providing renewable and fully circular products and solutions that help reduce climate impact and support biodiversity restoration. “As a renewable materials company, our core business is about offering solutions to sustainability challenges. To balance staying within planetary boundaries and securing economic and social progress, the world needs a transformation away from fossil dependency and a linear economy. With this commitment Stora Enso aims to be a leading actor in driving the transformation towards a biobased circular economy. We will be transparent with our progress, taking a science-based approach, to offer regenerative solutions that not only mitigate environmental impact, but restore and rebuild,” says Annica Bresky, Stora Enso’s President and CEO. New sustainability targets Stora Enso is also committing to new 2030 targets for its key sustainability priorities: climate change, biodiversity and circularity. With its updated science-based targets, Stora Enso commits to reducing absolute scope 1 and 2[2 ]greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from operations by 50% by 2030 from the 2019 base-year, aligned with the 1.5-degree scenario. Stora Enso also commits to an ambitious target to reduce scope 3[2] GHG emissions by 50% by 2030 from the 2019 base-year. The science-based targets have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative, a partnership between CDP, the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). As part of its new ambition, Stora Enso commits to achieving a net-positive impact on biodiversity in its own forests and plantations by 2050 through active biodiversity management. A set of actions towards 2030 has been developed and initiated to improve biodiversity on species, habitat and landscape levels. “Stora Enso uses its own forest in Sweden as a development platform for enhancing biodiversity. We will, for example, increase the share of broad-leaved trees and the amount of dead wood. Continuous cover forestry will be tested to evaluate its impact on biodiversity and forest growth in areas suitable for this method. Furthermore, Stora Enso will unify and expand performance evaluations that assess the quality of our work in Finland, Sweden, Russia and the Baltics in order to enhance biodiversity,” says Jari Suominen, Executive Vice President, Forest Division at Stora Enso. Our work will be supported by a science-based monitoring programme and more than 15 indicators tracking progress on the species, habitat and landscape levels. During 2022 Stora Enso will start to share data on its progress through a new online reporting tool and support forest owners with enhanced biodiversity services. As a global renewable materials company, Stora Enso also aims to improve biodiversity globally, even beyond the forest sector, through knowledge sharing and active participation in formulating new policies and standards. Stora Enso’s circular economy target outlines the commitment to transparent and circular material flows that help minimise waste and combat climate change. The interim targets for this include achieving 100% recyclable products by 2030. Flagship projects focused on infrastructure will help drive recycling at scale. This involves engagement along our value chain and new circular business models. [1)] Net Positive refers to a way of doing business where our products are being recycled, where we remove more CO\2\ from the atmosphere than we emit and enhance biodiversity. [2)] Scope 1: Direct fossil CO\2\e emissions from production. Scope 2: Indirect fossil CO\2\e emissions related to purchased electricity and heat. Scope 3: Emissions from other sources along our value chain.

At the same time, Stora Enso is initiating a pre-feasibility study to convert the second, currently idle, line at its Oulu site in Finland, to a packaging board line. Market demand for sustainable packaging is increasing. Stora Enso is a global leader in consumer packaging with strong market positions in attractive end-uses. The investment in Skoghall will further drive profitable growth in attractive end-use segments, such as liquid packaging board and coated unbleached kraftliner, and is expected to be completed in the second half of 2023. Following the investment, the annual packaging board production at Skoghall can be increased by approximately 100 000 tonnes, to a total capacity exceeding 900 000 tonnes, subject to environmental permits. The investment decision follows the completion of the feasibility study announced in November 2020. Based on the study, Stora Enso has decided not to go ahead with the originally planned pulp capacity expansion. The original feasibility study had an estimated capital expenditure of approximately EUR 800–850 million for both pulp and board capacity expansion. The board expansion in Skoghall will be implemented through debottlenecking of one of the existing production lines, and executed in two steps, utilising the scheduled maintenance stops. Growth in sustainable packaging is a long-term strategic objective for Stora Enso. Following the successful conversion in Oulu from paper to kraftliner production for food applications, Stora Enso has decided to initiate a pre-feasibility study to convert the second, idle paper line into a packaging board line. The first conversion ramp-up in Oulu has proceeded ahead of plan since production started at the beginning of the year. A second conversion would further improve the Oulu site’s flexibility and competitiveness, through integrated pulp availability, additional fixed and variable cost savings, and ability to utilise the adjacent deep-sea harbour. The pre-feasibility study will be completed early 2022. “Skoghall is one of our key integrated production sites for eco-friendly packaging materials. The investment strengthens Stora Enso’s capability to produce high-quality and cost-competitive consumer board grades within the growing core segments of liquid and food packaging. In Oulu, the ramp-up of the first converted production line has been successfully executed, reaching towards full capacity, quality requirements as well as profitability ahead of plan. Through both these growth initiatives we are demonstrating speedy time-to-market and ability to respond to the increasing demand for more sustainable packaging,” says Hannu Kasurinen, EVP Stora Enso’s Packaging Materials division. Stora Enso’s Skoghall site in western Sweden is a modern, world-class producer of consumer packaging board, for liquid packaging and dry food packaging. Total annual production currently exceeds 800 000 tonnes of board. Stora Enso’s Oulu site is a premium kraftliner producer in northern Finland. In early 2021, one of two former paper machines, was converted to kraftliner for consumer packaging applications. The pulp mill and drying machine were modified to produce unbleached brown pulp. The second former paper production line has been kept idle in the meantime. When fully ramped up, the annual capacity of the first line is 450 000 tonnes of kraftliner and 550 000 tonnes of pulp.

A total of 340 people will be permanently laid off. Some 25% of the redundancies can be managed through pension arrangements, and 100 people have already found new jobs within Stora Enso or with an external employer. The redundancies will mostly take effect in November. In April 2021, Stora Enso announced a plan to permanently close down pulp and paper production at its Kvarnsveden site due to the declining paper market. As a result of the co-determination negotiations regarding the Kvarnsveden site, pulp and paper production will be closed permanently from 30 September 2021. The customer service centre at Kvarnsveden will be closed by 31 December 2021. The power plant will continue to operate, but only for the purpose of district heating and for maintaining the buildings onsite. When the co-determination plan was announced in April, the maximum personnel impact was estimated to be 440 people. As a result of the negotiations, 340 people will be permanently laid off. Some 25% of the redundancies can be managed through pension arrangements, and 100 people have already found new jobs within Stora Enso or with an external employer. This includes employees who will work with energy production at the power plant. The redundancies will mostly take place in November. Stora Enso offers individual support to the affected employees. This includes re-training and relocation support for people who transfer to other locations for work. We will also offer financial support for employees starting up their own companies. Stora Enso collaborates with the City of Borlänge and other local and regional stakeholders through various activities, such as recruitment fairs. Stora Enso has initiated a project to find future options for the Kvarnsveden site. The process is being coordinated with the City of Borlänge and other regional and national stakeholders. The Kvarnsveden site offers many advantages for future use, including strong industrial infrastructure, a railway connection to Gothenburg harbour, a connection to the national electricity grid, and availability of clean water. Stora Enso continues to produce supercalendered (SC) papers at its Langerbrugge site in Belgium and its Maxau site in Germany, and improved newsprint at the Anjala site in Finland.
