Essity has announced a partnership with the United Nations (UN) Foundation to promote gender equality.

“As a hygiene and health company developing and providing products for all stages in life and breaking stigmas around sensitive, often gender-related topics, Essity is fully committed to do what we can to contribute to gender equality.
