BAT Returner Programme – Building A Better Tomorrow™

Advertorial

Returner Programme

We are firmly committed to the boldest transformation any industry has ever seen, making significant investments in research and development. Our work in creating innovative new products for our consumers, such as the Vuse ePod, named product of the year in 2020, is truly industry leading.

Sustainability is front and centre in all that we do, and we have a long and proud history of sustainability achievements. BAT is proud to be the only company in our industry to have been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices’ prestigious World Index in 2020.

In 2014, working with Mapp BioPharmaceuticals, in partnership with the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), we developed a treatment for Ebola based on the tobacco plant and today we are working on a potential Covid-19 vaccine.

We know that our success in building A Better Tomorrow™ requires us to tap into the broadest range of talent available. From the top down we believe in the benefits of having a diverse and inclusive workforce. Don’t just take our word for it.

In 2019 BAT was named Diversity Leader of the Year by the Financial Times in their inaugural Leaders in Diversity report. The report, which lists the top 700 companies across 10 European countries, recognises companies that have achieved a diverse and inclusive workforce across a number of criteria.
