Essity

Essity is a global hygiene and health company that develops essential products for everyday life, with the stated aim of improving well-being through hygiene and health solutions. The company operates in 150 countries and its products are used by about 1 billion people each day. Essity has been an independent company since 2017, following decades of experience as part of a larger group.

Its portfolio spans several categories. TENA provides incontinence care products designed to help people manage incontinence with confidence. Tork supplies professional hygiene solutions for away-from-home settings. Libresse covers consumer feminine hygiene, and Leukoplast addresses wound care and first aid. The wider industry verticals include health and medical, consumer goods, professional hygiene, and sustainability.

Sustainability is a central element of how the company operates rather than a separate programme. Essity has set a target of net zero emissions by 2050, alongside work on sustainable product innovation and environmental performance.

The organisation describes itself as a global team working on hygiene and health as fundamental to human dignity and quality of life, with an emphasis on removing barriers to well-being and on innovation that affects everyday routines.
