How we create value

In everything we do in Global Procurement, we strive to be a trusted business partner creating value for our stakeholders, suppliers, customers, consumers, and the society at large 

Our aim is to ensure an optimized cost base and drive sustainability through strong collaboration with our suppliers and stakeholders. This we do by:

  • Reducing the environmental impact in the supply chain through innovation and continuous improvement

  • Ensuring that we partner up with highly capable and responsible suppliers that have an active risk mindset and high ethical standards

  • Driving efficiency and improving quality by leveraging data, analytic tools, and digital solutions

  • Ensuring goods and services are supplied on time and with the right quality to our worldwide manufacturing and business sites within the Essity Group

Our responsibility

The Global Procurement team is a part of Essity’s Global Supply Chain organization responsible for sourcing, production, technology, logistics and distribution in relation to all Essity’s product categories. 

We cover a vast majority of the purchases needed to put Essity’s products on the market, i.e. direct materials such as pulp, recovered paper, super absorbents, non-woven, gauze, plastic films, fiber-based packaging, chemicals as well as indirect products and services such as machines and equipment and corporate services and marketing.
