Stora Enso has launched the Global Responsibility website and Facebook page for discussing responsibility topics. One of the highlights of the website is a dialogue session between Sini Harkki from Greenpeace and Stora Enso's CEO Jouko Karvinen. The Facebook page offers an open forum for straight talk about critical responsibility topics.

"The idea of the Global Responsibility website and Facebook page is the direct contact with our stakeholders without intermediaries or censorship," says Jouko Karvinen, Stora Enso's CEO. "In today's world we have to find new ways to listen, discuss and learn. That is the only way to make tomorrow better for all of us."

"People have a lot of questions and concerns about the right to use wood and paper, the destiny of forests and human rights at plantations," Karvinen continues. "Those questions and concerns are the basis of the Global Responsibility website and Facebook page. Stora Enso wants to start a discussion on what kind of responsibility people expect from companies. What should be the role of a company and what are the roles of NGOs, consumers and governments."

The Global Responsibility website features people from a CarrotMob representative, a forest owner, a plantation specialist and a Greenpeace representative to Stora Enso's CEO, discussing various challenging topics related to responsibility. The website also offers a wealth of information for digging deeper into the issue.
