Essity recognized among Europe’s top 50 most responsible companies by Corporate Knights

Essity, a global leader in hygiene and health, has secured a prominent position in Corporate Knights’ inaugural Europe 50 Ranking, which recognizes the most responsible companies across Europe.

The 2025 Europe 50 list emphasizes the leadership role European companies, including Essity, are playing in advancing global sustainability standards. Corporate Knights highlighted Essity’s strong performance in sustainable revenue generation, investment strategies, and governance, noting that a substantial share of the company’s revenue comes from sustainable sources. Additionally, Essity stands out for linking CEO bonuses directly to sustainability targets.

“Essity’s inclusion in the Europe 50 is a testament to its dedication to sustainability. Their sustainable revenues are growing at twice the rate of other companies, proving that prioritizing people and the planet is both sensible and financially rewarding,” said Toby Heaps, publisher of Corporate Knights.

This latest recognition follows Essity’s earlier inclusion in Corporate Knights’ Global 100 list of the world’s most sustainable companies, announced earlier this year.
