TENA Protects Program

For us, positive change starts with improving people's lives with quality products. But it also means taking responsibility for our impact on the planet. We do this, in line with our commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, by focusing on social responsibility and environmental responsibility.

Social responsibility - improve wellbeing, every day

TENA helps people to live happier, fuller lives. Our high-quality products have already increased hygiene and health standards for millions of users and caregivers. Social responsibility is about caring and daring to act boldly on social issues that others fear to champion.
