Essity—a hygiene and health company—was once again recognized for its leadership in sustainability by the global nonprofit environmental organization CDP. For the seventh consecutive year, Essity has achieved an A score in CDP's Supplier Engagement Assessment.

CDP's Supplier Engagement Assessment evaluates how effectively companies engage their suppliers on climate change, covering governance, targets, Scope 3 emissions, and value chain engagement. The A score aligns with industry leaders whose organizational practices advance environmental initiatives. In 2025, CDP assessed more than 22,100 companies worldwide.

"This recognition by CDP confirms the importance of collaboration in achieving long-term sustainability goals," says Jessica Nordlinder, Vice President of Global Procurement at Essity.

The recognition highlights Essity's continued efforts to work closely with suppliers to address climate-related impacts across the value chain. Supplier engagement is a key pillar of Essity's climate action plan and is essential to the company's science-based targets. By setting clear expectations, collaborating on targets, and supporting continuous improvement, Essity aims to reduce Scope 3 emissions and strengthen responsible sourcing practices.

"Engaging suppliers is fundamental to delivering meaningful climate action," shares Nordlinder. "By working in close partnership with our suppliers, we can drive transparency, accelerate emissions reductions, and ensure responsible sourcing across our value chain."
