Has worked 15 years in Stora Enso, CEO of Stora Enso Wood for four years.
Lives: In the village Shy Valley just outside Falun, where Stora Enso Skog’s headquarters is located.
Martin Holmgren, CEO for Stora Enso Timber receives at Stora Enso’s headquarters in Stockholm. He wants to clarify that there is no suspicion of the forest fire, and that the incident is under police investigation. But Stora Enso Skog has ended up in the spotlight as they are clients to the contractor who apparently started the fire by so-called scarification, which is flammable.
Who was responsible for the land preparation was conducted at this day
– Stora Enso has a responsibility to ensure that contracts are awarded to contractors with the right skills and that we place the right requirements – including risk assessment and management.
– To minimize risks, the assessment is best locally by the contractor who is responsible for day-to-day manage the risks, among other things, fire.
Martin Holmgren says there are requirements on emergency preparedness in the contracts and measures to eliminate risks. He mentions where to run at night, on a small portion of the surface, changing objects and drive more risky items later in the season and fire watch.
Is it up to the contractor to select from the actions palette?
– Yes, they … Martin begins Holmgen.
– They are very good at risk assessment, tabs communication manager Ulrika Lilja set. She sits two seats away from Martin Holmgen.
– The responsibility of the contract, it looks like. It follows industry practice. Then we have a dialogue, says Martin Holmgren.
are the responsibility of the contractor?
– Yes, and the reason is that the opportunity to make the assessment is out the contractor. They are best suited.
When do you think they should have a dialogue more s
– For example, the fire watch, we replace the cost. There is an obvious opportunity for dialogue. Since there are many other cases.
Other forest companies have chosen not to run scarification in the area. Do you think you should have taken the initiative to call the contractor and said that it would be scarification?
– how others have acted, I can not comment. We follow the methods and the procedures we have. This means that assessments are made on a case by case basis.
He says Stora Enso Timber has a great activity and soil preparing 20 000 ha per year, and that they often have options.
– Male can move and change objects. It makes it very rarely taken measures to ensure that we have to stop the activity.
But again – do you think you should have taken the initiative and stopped tilling in that area at that time?
– It’s not how we work. I think we have good routines and I am satisfied with them and confident that they meet the requirements of the business.
Yes or no – you should have taken the initiative
– Now this is Martin’s answer, says Ulrika Lilja.
– That is my answer, says Martin Holmgren.
I’ll ask again. If you could answer yes or no, what do you answer that?
– My answer is because the issue must be decided from case to case and the conditions vary so much from place to place so it is what determines . It ensures that decisions taken by thoroughbred professionals.
Who bears the cost if you have to set the machine?
– Since we have been so extensive business, it’s very rarely we need to set completely. We will find alternative solutions.
But if that were to happen?
– It’s in our contract letter that you as contractors can accept influence from weather.
So, it is the contractor who bears the cost?
– Yes, but it would be for a longer time then it is clear that when conditions have changed. Then we have a discussion about it. We’re interdependent.
Do you see that there is a risk that the contractor loses money if he is not running
– Taking a risk that poses a threat to personal safety and the large values of forest is not very probable. The drive to have security high on the agenda is fairly large. We have entrepreneurs with high risk awareness.
A big question has been if there was a fire watch in place.
Brought you in this specific case a dialogue with the contractor on fire watch?
– We had a dialogue with the contractor a time before the ignition was on fire watch. Then, we have the assurance that a fireguard should be used in future work.
A journalist at the VLT says police and rescue services said that there was no fire watch. What do you say about that?
– I know it flourishes numerous rumors. I do not want to speculate. There is an ongoing police investigation, which we support. I have full faith in it.
Do you see that there rests a responsibility on you in this fire?
– We have a responsibility as a client to making clear demands. Regarding the specific case, I would not speculate.
Can we talk to the contractor, through you?
– No, it is up to the individual , says Ulrika Lilja.
But we do not know who that is, you do.
– No, we will not give you the name says Martin Holmgren.
