Sweden's Essity recognised for sustainability in CDP's A List

Essity was among a small number of companies that achieved an ‘A’ out of more than 10,000 companies, based on data reported through CDP’s 2022 Forests questionnaire. One of the ways Essity works to combat deforestation is through the Consumer Goods Forum and its Forest Positive Coalition of Action, in which Essity, together with other companies and organisations, systematically addresses deforestation and forest destruction and promotes biological diversity, Essity said in a press release.

CDP’s annual environment-related data collection and assessment process is widely recognised as the leading benchmark when it comes to ensuring the transparency of companies’ environmental activities. 

“Essity recognises the challenges, our responsibility, and possibility to take forest positive action. We do so through innovation to use less virgin fibre, through making sure that all fibre that we use comes from responsible forestry and by collaborating with partners to achieve a larger positive change in the fight against deforestation,” said Magnus Groth, president and CEO of Essity.
