Certifications
Certifications provide independent verification that our operations meet recognized quality, safety, and sustainability standards. By aligning with recognized international standards, we strengthen performance, meet customer expectations, and build trust in our operations.
They support continuous improvement, drive consistency across our operations, and help ensure our solutions meet high environmental, quality, and safety standards.
Forest certification (FSC® and PEFC™ CoC*)
Essity is one of the world’s largest suppliers of FSC certified hygiene and health products and demand has been steadily increasing in all fields.
We work with forest certification schemes that are demanded by customers and supported by important stakeholders. Apart from Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®), some customers demand products certified to the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification™ (PEFC™).
* Chain of Custody
Environmental certification (ISO 14001 and EMAS)
Essity uses ISO 14001 and EMAS (the EU's system for environmental management and auditing) as environmental management systems. A large number of production units are certified according to ISO and/or EMAS. The company will continue its program for the remaining mills as further acquisitions are made.
Quality Certification (OHSAS 18001)
OHSAS 18001 is the main quality and management system used across Essity. The standard has many benefits and has been shown to improve sales and quality, meet customer requirements and improve customer satisfaction.
Quality Certification (ISO 45001)
Essity implements the ISO 45001 standard to ensure that uniform processes are deployed across the Group and that our units continuously improve their workplace health and safety. ISO 45001 specifies requirements for an organization’s occupational health and safety management systems.
