Strong supplier partnerships are essential to delivering innovation, quality, sustainability, and business performance. Global Procurement works closely with suppliers to create value through collaboration, continuous improvement, and responsible sourcing across Essity's value chain.
We create value by reducing environmental impact across the supply chain, driving innovation and continuous improvement, and partnering with responsible suppliers that share our commitment to ethical business practices and effective risk management. We drive efficiency and improve quality by leveraging data, analytics, and digital solutions to help ensure goods and services are delivered on time and meet quality expectations.
The Global Procurement team is part of Essity’s Global Supply Chain organization, responsible for sourcing, production, technology, logistics and distribution across Essity’s product categories. We cover the majority of purchases needed to put Essity’s products on the market, including direct materials such as pulp, recovered paper, superabsorbents, non-woven, gauze, plastic films, fiber-based packaging and chemicals, as well as indirect products and services such as machines and equipment, corporate services and marketing.
Global Procurement aims to be a trusted business partner to our Suppliers, offering our Suppliers to be an important partner at the forefront of product technology and service development within the health and hygiene sector, with strong and well‑established brands on the global markets. Together we improve performance and generate value by developing innovative and sustainable raw materials and products and securing supply‑chain optimization, enabling business growth by improvements in manufacturing methods, quality assurance regimes, and supply chain processes.
