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.

    Enjoyed talking with Vijay V. Vaitheeswaran at the Economist Impact Sustainability Week today in New York’s Convene Centre. Our sustainability strategy is built on 5 pillars, harm reduction, climate, nature, circularity and communities. With that in mind we covered various subjects including: ✳️ BAT’s portfolio transformation towards reduced harm tobacco and nicotine products, where already today 17% of our revenues are from non-combustible brands and innovations ✳️ The need for broader adoption of #TobaccoHarmReduction to support and enable that transformation, founded in better multi-stakeholder understanding and dialogue ✳️ The development of innovation and R&D solutions to ensure that sustainability is built into our products by design - driving technologies to make a societal difference ✳️ How we are one of the most vertically integrated agricultural businesses in the world and in what ways we are working with our farmers in areas that include; crop diversification, programmes to enhance yield and community livelihood and educational programmes ✳️ A call for regulators worldwide to develop more consistent, smarter and enabling regulations that can encourage and accelerate our and other enterprise sustainability journeys ✳️ That sustainability is fundamentally about “doing the right thing, right” and, yes, that will involve trade offs in terms of investment - yet when those investments are well marshalled and deployed they ultimately serve to drive value not diminish it It was a good conversation. #ABetterTomorrow #BAT #TheEconomist #TheEconomistImpact #thoughtleadership #vuse #glo #velo #sustainability #ESG
