Demonstrated progress
Essity measures share of spend with suppliers who commit to its Supplier Code of Conduct, where forced labor and modern slavery risks are brought up. For 2025 Essity achieved 95% vs 94% in 2024. Essity also favours certified raw materials, gaining a 99.7% share in 2025 of pulp that is FSC or PEFC vs 98.8% in 2024. Other certifications used in our choice of raw materials that are part of the work against modern slavery and other sustainability risks are BCI for cotton and RSPO for palm oil.
Reported risks and mitigations
- Risk: Largest risk is with suppliers outside our direct contractual relationships, in the early stages of the value chain. Risk especially evident among suppliers in certain regions of Asia & Latin America
- Area: Within your supply chains
- Tier: Tier 2 suppliers Tier 3 suppliers and below
- Group: Migrants
- Location: Colombia Malaysia Vietnam
- Mitigation: Essity performs on site audits of strategic suppliers. Strategic and high-risk suppliers are required to complete SEDEX self-assessments. Suppliers operating in high-risk areas are subject to SMETA ethical audits.
- Risk: The probability of forced labour is particularly high in industries that rely heavily on migrant labour, especially in regions such as South East Asia and parts of the Middle East.
- Tier: Tier 3 suppliers and below
- Location: United Arab Emirates China Malaysia Saudi Arabia Vietnam
- Risk: For vulnerable groups (refugees/migrant workers) we estimate forced labour risks are global, particularly in industries/service sectors where demand for low skilled workers/staff is easily replaced.
- Tier: Tier 1 suppliers Tier 2 suppliers Tier 3 suppliers and below
- Group: Migrants Refugees
- Location: Germany France United Kingdom India Italy Netherlands Sweden United States
A registry entry records what the organisation declared in its statement. It is not an independent audit. Group statements can cover several companies; BritDB preserves each exact source-supplied company-number link and excludes approver names and email addresses.

PSC records are company-filed public-register information. When the exact same displayed individual name occurs at multiple companies, BritDB offers a non-indexed cross-reference page. It is a name match only, not proof that the records describe the same person. Service addresses and partial dates of birth are deliberately omitted.
06 Charity register
Charity Commission links
No exact company-number link in this snapshot
The Charity Commission extract did not explicitly associate this Companies House number with a charity. BritDB does not use a name-only match to fill the gap.
This company-level check covers the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Links are accepted only when the official extract supplies this exact company registration number. Scottish charities now have separate OSCR profiles, but OSCR’s bulk fields do not provide a Companies House number, so BritDB does not infer a company link.
07 Northern Ireland charity register
CCNI exact company links
No unambiguous company-number link found
The CCNI source number did not resolve uniquely to this Companies House record. BritDB did not use a name or address match.
CCNI publishes company numbers without a jurisdiction prefix. BritDB links only when the plausible padded UK and NI candidates resolve to exactly one Companies House company.
08 Sanctions screening
UK Sanctions List
No exact business-registration-number link found
The imported UK Sanctions List did not supply this Companies House number as a UK-linked business identifier. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
No exact link is not sanctions clearance. UK restrictions can apply through ownership or control even where an entity is not separately named. Always use the current official list and obtain appropriate advice for a legally significant decision.
09 Public procurement
Find a Tender links
No exact GB-COH link in this snapshot
Find a Tender did not explicitly identify this Companies House number in a procurement party. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
These links use only the GB-COH identifier supplied in the procurement record. A company may have other public-sector work that is absent, older, below publication thresholds or published without a Companies House identifier.
10 Environmental register
Environment Agency waste registrations
No exact company-number registration linked
The licensed Environment Agency subset did not contain this exact Companies House number. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
This is a privacy-reduced, exact-company subset. The full official register also includes sole traders and applicants without a matching Companies House number. Check the current Environment Agency register before relying on registration status.
