Better hygiene and health are essential for better lives. Essity contributes to this by offering a broad product portfolio, including tissues, diapers, feminine care, and incontinence products, that help people of all ages maintain good health, comfort, and dignity every day.

Through different projects the company aims to provide solutions that increase health and well-being. An example of such a project is the 'Essentials Initiative' in collaboration with the United Nations. It showcases new research, inspiring examples and possible solutions as well as the societal impacts that can be achieved if hygiene and health are prioritised in the decision-making processes of policy makers and caregivers, as well as private individuals. Besides, the group is targeting several emerging countries as key growth areas by focusing on solutions adapted to consumers with limited resources, thus magnifying the health impact.

The company also actively stimulates education and awareness about hygiene topics such as menstruation and incontinence, thereby contributing to dissipate taboos and stigmas and is strongly committed to circularity by minimizing resource use, reducing waste, and running multiple recycling initiatives across its operations.
