In wound care, gaps in assessment tools have led to delayed or missed diagnoses for people with darker skin tones, a challenge that directly affects trust in healthcare solutions. At Essity, we see this as both a responsibility and an opportunity to create impact through our brands. Through Leukoplast, one of our wound care brands, we introduced the Skin Tone Tool, an objective way to assess and monitor wounds in relation to skin tone, helping reduce bias and support more accurate clinical decisions. By addressing real-world challenges through brand-led solutions, Essity strengthens clinical confidence, improves patient outcomes, and builds long-term relevance in healthcare. Designing inclusive care solutions is not only about doing the right thing it drives brand credibility, differentiation, and sustainable business value.

Here we introduced the Libresse Refresh Spot, offering clean toilets, free sanitary pads, and information about period underwear, creating a space where women+ could feel confident and worry‑free while enjoying the event. ✨ This recognition goes beyond a single activation. It demonstrates how breaking taboos, applying insight-led design, and embedding care into real-life moments can drive both social impact and long-term brand value.
