Essity's long-term shareholder value is built on five important pillars that are worth knowing for current and potential investors:

Globally Leading In Attractive And Growing Hygiene And Health Markets

Essity operates in dynamic hygiene and health markets shaped by powerful megatrends such as population growth, aging demographics, rising living standards, and increased awareness of hygiene and health.

Essity is focused on expanding in high-margin segments, fast-growing sales channels, and geographies such as North and Latin America. Execution is supported by a winning corporate culture that combines strong result focus with care and collaboration.
