Stora Enso has appointed Annette Stube as EVP, head of sustainability and a member of the Group Leadership Team.

The Danish citizen, who will take up her new role from 1 September, joins Stora Enso from an integrated transport and logistics company where she held the same role. Ms Stube succeeds Noel Morrin, who will be retiring at the end of 2020 after five years with the company.

‘I would like to extend my warmest thanks to Noel for his valuable and committed work for Stora Enso,’ said president and CEO Annica Bresky. ‘He has played an essential role in setting an ambitious sustainability agenda for Stora Enso and taking the Group’s sustainability reporting to a high level. We have set ambitious targets to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and seen good progress in that during the past years.

‘I am happy to welcome Annette Stube to our leadership team,’ Ms Bresky continued. ‘Her experience in pioneering and leading sustainability work in global organisations is very valuable and will support us in our continued transformation as ‘The renewable materials company.’ Her background in developing sustainability-based business opportunities and innovations will also strengthen us.’

‘I am happy to join Stora Enso, a true sustainability front-runner,’ Ms Stube added. ‘Stora Enso is uniquely positioned as a solution provider in a low-carbon, circular bioeconomy with renewable raw materials, having sustainability at the core of its strategy. Standing on solid sustainability governance and high-quality reporting, Stora Enso is ready to take the next step.’
