Essity AB (publ) is a global leader in hygiene and health solutions headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden.

The company operates more than fifty production sites alongside a network of research and development centres dedicated to product innovation and sustainable practices. Essity places emphasis on resource efficiency, circular production and ambitious environmental targets in line with its commitment to responsible business.
The company is led by President and CEO Magnus Groth, who assumed the role in October 2020, supported by a diverse management team with expertise in operations, R&D and marketing. With around 48,000 employees worldwide, Essity leverages its deep industry knowledge and global scale to meet consumer needs and advance its mission of improving quality of life through hygiene and health products.
