Role in society

We have a mission to sustainably develop, produce, market and sell value-added hygiene and health solutions which improve people’s well-being. To support this vision, Essity continuously follows the societal developments and takes part in the public debate on issues related to hygiene and health as well as a sustainable and circular society.

For example, we work with raising hygiene and health standards around the globe, raise awareness and breaking taboos. We continuously monitor, evaluate and anticipate changes in the environment in the form of political decisions and amended regulations in the areas where we have expertise, can contribute and are of particular importance for our business.
