Corporate governance structure

Corporate governance defines how decisions are made, how accountability is maintained, and how risks are managed to deliver sustainable performance. Clear roles across shareholders, the Board, management and independent auditors create checks and balances that build trust and enable consistent execution. 

Essity applies the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance as the foundation for this framework.
