Continuing its long-standing partnership with the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, Stora Enso has committed to being one of the Premium Partners for the 2027 event in Falun, Sweden.

The Premium Partner collaboration in Falun 2027 marks the seventh time that Stora Enso will sponsor the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships. Stora Enso has previously served as the presenting sponsor for the events in Trondheim (2025), Planica (2023), Oberstdorf (2021), Seefeld (2019), and Lahti (2017), as well as the main sponsor in Falun (2015).

We are proud and excited to continue our partnership with FIS at the upcoming championships in Falun. Nordic skiing is deeply connected to nature, and these events give us a powerful platform to demonstrate how renewable materials from sustainably managed forests can make a real difference. – Hans Sohlström, President and CEO of Stora Enso

"Moreover, the fact that the upcoming games will take place in Falun, Sweden, where Stora Enso has strong presence and historic roots, makes this collaboration especially meaningful for us,” says Sohlström.

As Premium Partner at the Falun 2027 games, Stora Enso will contribute with renewable, wood-based and recyclable solutions to help create a sustainable world-class championship event. From wooden structures and catering products to sustainable prizes and giveaways, the goal is to demonstrate how renewable materials can replace fossil-based alternatives in large-scale events.

Stora Enso’s long-term engagement is a true example of partnership with purpose. Their innovative use of renewable materials helps us demonstrate that major sporting events can lead the way toward a more sustainable future. Having them as a Premium Partner once again, and particularly in Falun – a place rich in skiing tradition and Stora Enso’s heritage – underlines our shared vision for responsible growth and environmental leadership in sport.– Johan Eliasch, FIS President

“We are genuinely proud of the fact that Stora Enso has become synonym with the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships,” says FIS Chief Commercial Director Christian Salomon. “This is exactly the kind of partnership that we strive for at FIS: not only partners that live and breathe snow sports, but also with whom we share core values ─ in this case, the commitment to ever more sustainable solutions for our events.”
