Essity publishes its Annual and Sustainability Report for 2020
Hygiene and health company Essity has today published its Annual and Sustainability Report for 2020 on www.essity.com.
“During 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on people and the global economy. Essity has had three priorities: care for our people, contribute to society and secure business success. COVID-19 and related lockdowns and restrictions had a negative impact on Essity’s sales. Nonetheless, in 2020, Essity achieved its highest operating profit (EBITA) and its highest EBITA margin ever. Vaccinations have started and market conditions will gradually improve. As a company, we are emerging from this stronger. Our vision to improve well-being through leading hygiene and health solutions is more important than ever”, says President and CEO Magnus Groth, Essity.
Read President and CEO Magnus Groth’s message and about Essity’s priorities for 2021 in the Annual and Sustainability Report 2020.
