HELSINKI, March 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Stora Enso has published its Green and Sustainability-Linked Financing Report for 2023. It details how the proceeds of the green bonds are allocated and outlines the environmental benefits achieved through these bonds.

At the end of 2023, Stora Enso had fourteen outstanding green bonds or bilateral loans, with a total nominal amount of EUR 2,594 million. The proceeds fall into two of the eligible categories associated with Stora Enso's Green and Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework: Sustainable forest management and Sustainable product processes.
