The Finnish-Swedish producer embarked on the project in November last year. Until now, only 93 hectares of Finnish forest have achieved FSC certification (PrintWeek, 6 October).
The pilot project was unique in Finland in that it was the first FSC group certification, the first extensive FSC certification and the first to apply the national draft FSC standard.
Over 95% of Finnish for-ests have Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), which is also supported by Stora Enso.
Stora Enso hopes to have one national FSC- and PEFC-endorsed standard in Finland.
