But with the nearest clinic miles away from her remote village in the rural district of Lundazi, the ox cart wasn’t going to get her there in time. After being bumped along a dirt road over rough terrain, she had no choice but to give birth right there in the cart.

Earth Day Essity Style

Essity Employees from all around the country participated in Earth Day activities to help their communities! Here are some of the ways that we are helping to make the world a better place.

Barton employees, "The Litter Getters," worked hard with some roadside pickup, filling eight contractor-size garbage bags with trash.

Georgeanne Hall from our South Glens Falls location taught first graders about recycling, and led a tickle plant potting activity with fourth grade students.

At the North American headquarters in Philadelphia, employees were reminded of ways that they can do their part year-round and commit to good recycling practices. The Cira Centre also hosted an event to show the tenants the Environmentally Friendly Cleaning practices of the building.

Paul Scialla: The Man Behind the Mission to Disrupt Real Estate Through Wellness

Disrupting a $180-trillion asset class is no small task, but that’s exactly what Paul Scialla, founder and CEO of New York-based developer Delos, has spent the past seven years of his life working to achieve.
