Ethics & Sustainability

At TIGERSNUS we believe in producing locally sourced, organically grown tobacco of the highest quality.

As the first Indonesian snus tobacco company, we strive to lead the way and ensure that our product is of the best quality, and has a reduced impact on the environment, whilst meeting our vision to help people to quit smoking or to even stop using tobacco products entirely.

To be the leading snus company in Asia, we understand that we need to do things differently. Most tobacco companies aren't known exactly for doing good; so we want to stand out in a positive way.

Our approach to conducting business is sustainable and environmentally conscious. By following a set of practices, and by training all our staff to act accordingly also, we strive to be a standout company in the field of tobacco industry for sustainability, environment friendliness, and ethical way of conducting business.
