LET'S MAKE AN IMPACT

Global Compliance. Strategic Insights. Future Innovation. 

At SoS.25, we put the spotlight on Tobacco Track & Trace - because the industry's regulatory challenges don't stop at the EU's borders. With evolving frameworks such as the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) and expanding track & trace requirements in over 40 countries and regions, including China, the Middle East and the former CIS countries, staying ahead of compliance is critical. 


Join us for:

✔ expert discussions and strategic networking

✔ insights into the future of tobacco regulation and digital traceability

✔ operational best practices.


Learn how to go beyond compliance by leveraging track and trace data to streamline internal processes, improve supply chain visibility, and gain strategic business insights. Discover how leading companies are using regulatory data not just for reporting, but to drive efficiencies, reduce costs, and identify new market opportunities.

The Future of Tobacco:

How ESG is reshaping the industry 


Don't miss your chance to gain exclusive insights into the evolving ESG landscape and its impact on the industry.


As regulations become more complex, companies must go beyond compliance to remain competitive. As sustainability and compliance converge, the tobacco sector faces a pivotal moment - those who rethink their strategies now can turn regulatory challenges into opportunities. Frameworks are expanding beyond product traceability to include deforestation-free supply chains (EUDR), human rights due diligence (LkSG, CSDDD) and carbon reporting (CSRD, CBAM). 


Learn how further topics such as human rights, carbon footprint reduction, and supply chain transparency are addressed in the face of these challenges:


  • Deforestation & Supply Chain Transparency – How the EUDR impacts sourcing and what proactive steps companies can take.
  • Human Rights & Social Responsibility – Best practices for ensuring ethical labor practices and compliance with due diligence laws.
  • Carbon Footprint & Circular Economy – How leading companies can align with carbon reduction targets and explore innovative sustainability solutions.

ONE PLANET

Sustainability as a shared responsibility 

From space, the Earth is one - no borders, no divisions, just one unified system. In business, sustainability follows the same principle: global challenges require collective action. ESG regulations are reshaping global industries and companies need to integrate them seamlessly into their operations.

The Sustainability osapiens Summit 2025 unites decision-makers, industry leaders and innovators - because there is only one planet, and together we drive ESG progress. 

 

ONE HUB

The digital platform for ESG compliance 

True transformation requires intelligent solutions.  The osapiens HUB enables companies to effortlessly integrate ESG regulations into their business processes. It ensures compliance, reduces risk and increases operational efficiency - turning regulatory challenges into strategic advantages.

At SoS.25, we will demonstrate how digital innovation, AI-driven compliance and automated ESG reporting are redefining Corporate Sustainability.

ONE EVENT

The future of ESG compliance in one place

A single event can lead to a movement. The Sustainability osapiens Summit 2025 is where ESG pioneers, industry leaders and regulatory experts come together to collaborate on navigating the evolving universe of CSRD, CSDDD, EUDR and more.
