ESTN Symposium 2024
WHY ATTEND?

OUR VISION
Currently, there is no global forum for addressing the ongoing public interest in better application of sustainability issues within the industry.
While recognizing the efforts of various industry organizations like CORESTA, ITGA, TMA, and GTNF, which occasionally shed light on environmental concerns within the industry, there has yet to emerge a single forum committed to a comprehensive approach that attempts to bring together institutional, public and private stakeholders to openly offer ideas and public policy solutions that address a holistic approach to industry sustainability.
The creation of an unbiased open international symposium that attracts industry executives, raw material suppliers, as well as academia, think tanks, public education groups, environmental technology solutions groups, legal and regulatory compliance experts, and numerous public policy decision makers and regulators, could prove to be an ideal forum through which helpful discourse and solutions can be develop.
Throughout the Symposium, we will delve into various topics, ranging from sustainable tobacco farming practices and alternative production methods to the reduction of waste and the promotion of recycling. We will examine how technology and innovation can play a pivotal role in creating a more environmentally conscious tobacco and nicotine industry, and we will explore policy frameworks that can drive meaningful change.
BRIDGING THE DIVIDE
Whilst there are distinct views and opinions on how industry should respond to environmental issues, one point is clear, the ability to create forums for dialog may well produce meaningful solutions and manageable public policy initiatives that may otherwise prove unworkable.
The proposed Symposia series would be a starting place for open debate and potentially creating points of contact and reference that may help the industry and policy framers find sustainable environmental solutions for tobacco and nicotine.
The objective of the Symposia will be to create a frame of reference around sustainability questions and solutions, without addressing the broader public health issues related to an adult individual’s choice to consume tobacco and nicotine products.
