About us

We are BAT, a truly global company with a highly successful past and a transformational future. Founded in 1902, we have evolved into one of the world’s leading consumer goods businesses, the only truly global company in our sector. As a leading FTSE company, we are spread across six continents and have more than 46,000 people worldwide. Our purpose is to build A Better Tomorrow™ by reducing the health impact of our business through offering a greater choice of enjoyable and less risky*† products for our consumers. We are becoming a business that defines itself, not by the product it sells, but by the consumer needs that it meets. We are creating the brands of the future – brands with purpose. Digital transformation, technology and innovation are driving this change. And it will be actioned by our people, through our collaborative company culture and values. And while we have a long and proud history of sustainability achievements, we are transforming from being a business where sustainability has always been important to one where it is front and centre in all that we do. Our ESG efforts and commitment to high standards placed us on the CDP A list for climate change in 2022. We have also been in the prestigious Dow Jones Sustainability Indices for 21 years. Since 2018, we have been named as a Global Top Employer for our long-standing commitment to sustaining a diverse and inclusive culture and providing career opportunities for all of our people around the world. Together, we are building A Better Tomorrow™. * Based on the weight of evidence and assuming a complete switch from cigarette smoking. These products are not risk free and are addictive. † Our Vapour product Vuse (including Alto, Solo, Ciro and Vibe), and certain products, including Velo, Grizzly, Kodiak, and Camel Snus, which are sold in the U.S., are subject to FDA regulation and no reduced-risk claims will be made as to these products without agency clearance.

In her keynote speech at the world’s leading conference discussing the future of the tobacco and nicotine industries, Dr Round said: “𝐓𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝.” “𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐎𝐦𝐧𝐢™ 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.

    We’ve undertaken Omni™ because we believe a Smokeless World is possible. The decisions that society, industry and regulators make in the coming years will decide whether Tobacco Harm Reduction, a public health strategy that encourages smokers to switch to less risky alternatives, is embraced. Earning the trust of regulators and key opinion leaders has been a challenge for our industry and is a priority for our company. With Omni™, BAT is committing to thoughtful, constructive, and responsible conversation rooted in evidence. By crossing the aisle through dialogue and information sharing, we hope to contribute to collective solutions. Paul McCrory - Director, Corporate and Regulatory Affairs Review the Evidence.

    Celebrating Excellence and Innovation at Our GBS Hubs in Costa Rica and Mexico! Just wrapped up an incredible visit to our GBS hubs in Costa Rica and Mexico. I am impressed with the passion, energy, and dedication I witnessed in every interaction with our teams, their commitment to delivering excellence, driving innovation and transformation every day is much appreciated.   In Costa Rica, I was particularly proud to see the team earn the Blue Flag certification, a significant milestone in their contribution to our global sustainability agenda. The Blue Flag Ecological Program focuses on waste management, water quality, environmental education, and ecosystem conservation. By participating in this initiative, our team in Costa Rica has helped to strengthen its sustainability credentials, while fostered community-driven environmental stewardship.   Additionally, both Costa Rica and Mexico hubs have earned Great Place to Work certifications, further showcasing their commitment to creating outstanding work environments.   At our Monterrey Mexico hub, I also had the opportunity to see tangible examples of how the team is leveraging advanced data and analytics to drive impactful results across our operations. Both hubs exemplify a high-performing culture with a partner-centric approach, continuously pushing the boundaries of innovation and excellence.   In both hubs, it was great to see how our teams consistently leverage our #PartnerCentric approach to accelerate business transformation and unlock value across Finance, Human Resources, and Procurement, driving impactful outcomes for our markets in the Americas and the US.   A big thank you to the talented teams for their dedication and bringing BAT Values to life everyday!   Ramy Adham, Sergio R. Acosta, Julie Jacques, Angel Loredo, Juan Gerardo Cervantes Alva, Cecilia Medina, Phillipp Fritschi, Marifer Pineda, Lourdes Navarro, Cintia Ulloa, Mariza Vacca Di Cerbo, Carlos Castillo, Lauren Piana, Marcela Araya, Douglas Almeida, Juan Jose Gutierrez and Patricia Salas M. 🇨🇷.   And a special thanks to Johan Vandermeulen, Rob Bullen, Graeme Munro, Joana Bezerra Cavalcanti, Aaron Gwinner, Ahu Suzer, Mauricio Lara and B Razeeah Belath.   #GBSCostaRica #BlueFlag #Sustainability #ABetterTomorrow #GBSMonterrey #BusinessExcellence #DigitalTransformation #OurPeopleOurPride
