New suppliers need an invitation from Essity to start the onboarding process.​ ​

Suppliers who have not had any transactions with any Essity legal entity in the last 18 months are considered new. If you are a supplier who has had transactions with any Essity legal entity in the last 18 months, please refer to the Direct or Indirect supplier management pages.​

The onboarding process for new suppliers consists of three parts: Registration, Qualification/Certification, and Enablement. These are carried out via the Ariba Network, which is a portal we use to collaborate with our suppliers.​ ​

Qualification/Certification is only available for our Direct Material suppliers (who supply raw materials and bought-in finished goods).​
