that Improve Everyday Life
Essity’s innovations are based on deep customer and consumer insights.
Through digital interaction, we gain a better understanding of needs,
challenges and expectations, enabling us to develop the best solutions
that improve people’s everyday life.
Sustainable choices
Customers and consumers are increasingly interested in making sustainable choices. During
2021, we launched washable absorbent underwear in Incontinence Products and Feminine
Care, under brands including TENA Silhouette, TENA for Men, Bodyform, Libresse, Nana
and Saba. The underwear offers the user an alternative to a disposable product. In Feminine
Care, we also launched Libresse® V-Cup, a reusable menstrual cup, while in Professional
Hygiene, reusable microfiber cloths were launched under the Tork brand.
Digital innovations
New technology creates opportunities to deliver digital solutions that simplify and improve
the customer experience. The TENA Family Care App makes life easier for people who care
for family members in the home, and TENA Bladder Sensor, a wearable ultrasound sensor,
measures levels in the bladder and sends a notification when it is time to visit the bathroom.
The Cutimed Wound Navigator is a digital wound management solution. The mobile app
registers the size and other properties of the wound to offer the patient the most suitable
care and wound care product. Tork Vision Cleaning is a solution that makes it possible to
use real-time data to ensure that professional environments and toilets are clean and that
dispensers of paper, soap and hand sanitizers are filled.

13. Sustainability
Sustainability has always been the core of our business. Essity’s focus on sustaina-
bility builds a stronger business with customers and consumers and improves the
well-being of people and planet, creating value for both our business and society.
For the well-being of people
Essity is committed to good hygiene, health and
well-being for people in all stages of life. We
work to improve people’s access to essential
hygiene and health products, solutions, facilities
and sanitation. Through research and campaigns,
we share knowledge to drive public dialogue
and awareness around hygiene and health.
By enabling more people to participate in every-
day life, we contribute to more inclusive socie-
ties. Through partnerships and communication
we educate to break stigmas and bridge gender
gaps related to health opportunities. Promoting
human dignity and safety is fundamental, and
internationally recognized human rights are
supported and respected wherever we operate.
For the well-being of the planet
Climate change is one of the defining issues of
our time. Essity is committed to achieving net
zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. We
have joined the Business Ambition for 1.5 degrees
and are building on our near-term Science Based
Targets for 2030 to accelerate our ambitions for
the future. Essity promotes sustainable forestry
operations. We develop products and packaging
containing less fossil-based plastic and more
circular solutions. We increase the use of rene-
wable materials and new reusable products.
Our Lilla Edet production facility in Sweden is the
world’s first large-scale tissue facility with fossil
CO2 emission-free production, using bio-gas.
Sustainable manufacturing
in practice
In 2021, Essity began tissue manufacturing using
pulp from wheat straw at its production facility in
Mannheim, Germany.

15. Breaking Barriers to Well-Being
Through our purpose “Breaking Barriers to Well-being”, we
are pursuing global and local initiatives to raise awareness
and standards for hygiene and health.
By sharing insights and stories, and through partnerships and education,
we build awareness and promote a public dialogue around topics such
as menstruation, incontinence, hand hygiene, lymphedema and endo-
metriosis. We share our messages through social media and digital
campaigns. In the Essential Talks podcast, we address topics where
Essity makes a difference to improve well-being.
Thanks to partnerships, we reach more people, because together we
can make a greater difference. In collaboration with for example UNICEF
in Mexico and the Global Handwashing Partnership, we educate young
people about the importance of hand hygiene and hygiene in relation
to menstruation.
For many years, we have been convening partner to the UN Foundation’s
annual Global Dialogue. Essity is part of a UN Foundation-led expert group
to promote awareness of antimicrobial resistance. Our expertise in infec-
tion prevention and the healthcare of tomorrow played an important
part in our participation at the World Expo Dubai.
