Stora Enso Plans Wooden Building For Heaquarters Stora Enso is partnering with the Finnish pension in- surance company Varma in the construction of a new head office in the centre of Helsinki. Stora Enso will lease part of the building, which will showcase mod- ern wooden architecture. “As the renewable materials company, we at Stora Enso want our new head office to be located in a mod- ern sustainable wooden office building,” said Seppo Parvi, Stora Enso’s CFO and Country Manager Finland.. Varma will organise an architecture competition for the design of the building and apply for a LEED Plat- inum environmental certification for it, as the project aims for the highest levels of sustainability. Built with renewable wooden materials from Stora Enso, it will store carbon during its lifecycle. Wooden spaces are known to contribute to better indoor air quality, in- creased productivity, less stress, and less sickness. “Wood is the only construction material suitable for large-scale construction that is both fully recy- clable, renewable and reusable,” says Jari Suominen, Head of Stora Enso’s Wood Products division.“By us- ing wood, we can help cut carbon emissions by up to 75 percent.” The building is expected to be completed in 2023.
