Healthy ecosystems are vital to the well-being of people, nature, and our business. Essity reduces resource use, minimizes pollution, and increases efficiency and circularity across the supply chain. By acting responsibly with fiber, plastics, chemicals, and water, we respect biodiversity, strengthen natural systems, and create long-term value for communities, society, and future generations. We collaborate with partners and customers to promote ecosystem stewardship, extending our positive impact beyond our own operations.
Responsible sourcing ensures that the raw materials we use, especially fresh wood‑based fibers, come from legal, ethical, and sustainably managed forests. Guided by Essity’s Fresh Wood‑based Fiber Procurement Policy, we require suppliers to follow responsible forest management, avoid unacceptable fiber sources, and hold certifications such as FSC or PEFC. We work with suppliers through audits, traceability checks, and continuous improvement to increase certified fiber content and support transparent, sustainable supply chains.
