Essity earned placement on CDP's A List for Forests and an A- rating for Climate Change in the 2025 assessments. The hygiene and health company demonstrated leadership in transparency and environmental performance among over 22,000 participants from 130 countries, representing two-thirds of global market capitalization. CDP evaluated governance, targets, impact reduction, and value chain engagement. Essity commits to net zero by 2050 through full value chain decarbonization, including renewable energy sources like solar, geothermal, biogas, and waste heat. As a major buyer of wood-based fibers, the company ensures 100% certification via FSC and PEFC Chain of Custody systems. These ratings affirm Essity's progress since joining the Science Based Targets initiative in 2017.
