Demonstrated progress
Essity has as a KPI to source from suppliers who commit in writing to respect and implement the requirements detailed in Essity’s Supplier Code of Conduct and to enforce similar requirements further upstream in their supply chain. In 2023 92% of Essity Procurement spend is with suppliers who have committed to Essity’s Supplier Code of Conduct. The number is shared publicly in Essity's Annual and Sustainability Report vs 90% achieved in 2022 and 88% in 2021. The target is to achieve 95% by 2025.
Reported risks and mitigations
- Risk: Legislation on due diligence and forced labour required more frequent supplier and supplier family tree screening. Other actions have been in the areas chain of custody verification for raw materials.
- Area: Within your supply chains
- Tier: Tier 2 suppliers Tier 3 suppliers and below
- Group: Migrants
- Location: China Malaysia Vietnam
- Mitigation: This required supplier and supplier family tree screening, chain of custody verification for raw materials, ethical audits and certifications. We discontinued several supplier business relationships where full transparency of their labour force was not provided, both of their direct and of their sub supplier labour force.
- Risk: Sanctions due to Russian invasion of Ukraine triggered raw material origin checks, whilst the risk for illegal immigration / forced labour / trafficking increased with addition of Ukrainian refugees.
- Group: Women Migrants Refugees
- Location: Germany United Kingdom Poland Sweden Slovakia
- Mitigation: Educating procurement teams of the risk of potential forced labour or modern slavery and the requirements in recent legislation and potential impacts on Essity. We completed a risk analysis for each procurement stream. Regarding sanctions for raw materials originating from Russia there was additional screening of suppliers / questionnaires to suppliers.
- Risk: N/A

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.
07 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.
08 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.
09 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.
10 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.
11 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.
