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).
