Stora Enso
contributes to climate-smart building for World Ski
Championships
Stora Enso
has a special tradition of partnership with the Nordic World Ski
Championships in Falun, Sweden. The company is now taking another
clear step in this collaboration and is ensuring the realization of
a building for the World Ski Championships at the Lugnet
Arena.
?We have
been given the opportunity to become involved and assume
responsibility using our wood products, and ensure that we build a
climate-smart center that will be of great use to the World Ski
Championships and Falun residents. Wooden houses and wood products
store carbon dioxide throughout their lifetimes and we believe that
wood construction is the way of the future. With this new building,
we will be able to clearly show these advantages to our
stakeholders,? says Karl-Henrik Sundstr?m, EVP, Printing and
Living.
The two-storey building will be constructed at Lugnet
and serve as an administrative building with space for office
premises. It will comprise a wooden frame and include the use of
prefabricated CLT elements (cross-laminated timber), and paint will be supplied by Falu
R?df?rg.
Prefabricated CLT elements are a
sustainable, efficient and safe method of building offering a
freedom of architecture and design. With CLT elements the
construction of the building at Lugnet Arena will take only six
months from start to finish.
?It is
highly gratifying that a global company such as Stora Enso with a
strong local presence in our region has decided to invest in the
World Ski Championships. Stora Enso works exclusively with
renewable materials and it was natural for us to work together with
the company on constructing a climate-smart World Ski Championships
building. The building will last into the future to the delight for
many people and forthcoming events at Lugnet,? says Sven von Holst,
CEO WSC 2015.
?The World Ski Championships in Falun are extremely
positive for the region of Dalarna and Sweden. We want to be
involved and contribute to a successful and responsible event by
being a main sponsor. This construction project is an excellent
example of how, through partnership with local stakeholders, a
global company can assume responsibility and contribute to making
Lugnet a more attractive arena ? even after the Championships have
taken place,? says Per Lyrvall, Country
Senior Executive, Sweden, Stora Enso.
