Key contributors to their Scope 3 emissions in 2025 were processing of sold products (1.84 billion kg CO2e), purchased goods and services (1.45 billion kg CO2e), fuel and energy-related activities (200 million kg CO2e), and upstream transportation and distribution (1.01 billion kg CO2e).

In 2024, total emissions were about 5.80 billion kg CO2e, comprising approximately 1.18 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1), 60 million kg CO2e (Scope 2), and 8.96 billion kg CO2e (Scope 3). In 2019, the baseline year for their current targets, total emissions were approximately 10.06 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 2.27 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 350 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at roughly 14.71 billion kg CO2e.

Stora Enso has set ambitious climate commitments verified by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), consistent with keeping global warming to 1.5°C. The company aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from operations by 50% by 2030, from a 2019 baseline. They are also committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 50% within the same timeframe. As a signatory of The Climate Pledge, Stora Enso has committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions across all Scope categories by 2040.
