Periods are part of life. We’re creating change that lasts — together.
Here, you’ll find the actions we’re taking today to be more sustainable — from how our products are made, to the materials we choose, to the changes we’re working on behind the scenes - we believe in being honest about where we are doing better. Just as we’re open about periods, blood, clots and discharge, we’re just as transparent about our sustainability journey.
Examples of activities to reach our goal
Our brand supports women’s wellbeing as part of Essity, which has science‑based climate targets, including a 35% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
All of our factories in Europe use 100% certified renewable energy. Renewable energy comes from sources such as water, wind or solar. The electricity in our factories is purchased externally and is certified with guarantees of origin. These certificates are issued by external institutes like the European Electricity Certification System (EECS) to secure credibility.
During 2025 we started to introduce a new recyclable wrap for the ultra thin towels in our assortment, and our goal is to have this implemented for all of our ultra thin towels by the end of 2026. This will make all our wraps classified as recyclable (according to recycles classification)
We have in the last 3 years increased the amount of PCR (post consumer recycled plastic) in our plastic packaging. In 2025 we reached the share of 60% in all our bags. This is contributing to reducing the use of virgin plastic material
We’re proud of the progress we’ve made — and we’re committed to going further for women+ and the world around us. Because real care goes beyond products. Actions rooted in care, equity and progress.
