Essity has been named a 2022 Supplier Engagement Leader by the global nonprofit environmental organisation CDP.

The CDP’s designation reflects Essity’s efforts in 2022 to reduce emissions of what is referred to as Scope 3 (which includes purchased goods and services, purchased transportation, and waste from operations) in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

This marks the fourth consecutive year Essity has achieved such designation from CDP.

“Our daily work with clear governance, targets, and reporting related to our Scope 3 emissions has delivered results, where the collaboration with our suppliers is key in our continued efforts to reduce climate impact,” said Jessica Nordlinder, Essity vice president of global procurement.

CDP’s recognition as Supplier Engagement Leader demonstrates that we are making important progress and thereby securing improvements for our customers, consumers, and our planet.”

Essity is aiming to reduce its Scope 3 emissions by 18 per cent by 2030.

CDP’s annual environment data collection is recognised as the leading benchmark of companies’ environmental activities.
