Essity was created in 2017 as a spin-off of Svenska Cellulosa AB (SCA) and began trading on Nasdaq Stockholm under Essity AB (publ).

Essity’s product portfolio is organized into three main segments: Personal Care, Consumer Tissue, and Professional Hygiene. Personal Care includes incontinence and related absorbent products; Consumer Tissue covers household paper products; and Professional Hygiene offers hygiene and cleaning solutions for businesses and institutions, including dispensers, towels, and associated services.

Sustainability and responsible sourcing are central to Essity’s strategy. The company emphasizes responsible wood fiber sourcing, packaging optimization, and reducing its climate impact, with ongoing investments in recycling, renewable energy, and water stewardship. It publishes annual sustainability reports and adheres to governance and supplier standards to ensure product safety and ethical conduct.
