Global Health & Safety Week

Through our products and services, Essity promotes healthy workplaces and empowering our own employees and others to have a sustainable working life.

Once a year, Essity has a dedicated Global Health & Safety Week offering a variety of different health promoting activities for our own employees. With the current Corona pandemic affecting society at large and also how we work, health and safety are top-of-mind more than ever.
