mission

ESSNA’s mission is to campaign for a fair and incentivising regulatory environment for the sports and active nutrition sector where innovation thrives and excellence is achieved.

Our main objectives are

Campaigning for a balanced policy & regulatory framework

Increasing awareness of the specificities of sports & active nutrition

Strengthening the reputation of the sports & active nutrition industry

Reducing unfair competition & improving consumer safety

How we achieve this

 

We do so by engaging with policymakers through proactive lobbying, thought leadership and reputation-building in collaboration with the press, and by tackling non-compliance and inadvertent doping to reduce unfair competition and increase consumer safety.

We work with decision-makers and stakeholders at the European and national levels to raise awareness of the specificities of the sports nutrition sector to ensure that its special role and purpose is reflected in legislation, empowering the industry to grow and innovate.

Some of the key issues ESSNA engages on include  

Food & nutrition
Food composition, labelling & marketing
Sustainability
Packaging, food waste & circularity
EU-UK trade relations
Regulatory divergence, reformulation debates
Compliance & inadvertent doping
Non-compliant products & supplement testing
