BAT – Building a Better Tomorrow™
We've been around a long time – since 1902 in fact – and have evolved into one of the world's leading consumer goods companies. We are a leading, multi-category FMCG that provides products to millions of consumers around the world. 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*.
There are more than 55,000 BAT people worldwide. Many of our people are based in offices, factories, tech hubs and R&D centres, but many of our people also spend time on the road, helping and advising our tobacco farmers, and our retailers.

Diversity & Inclusion – Bring Your Difference
Creating A Better Tomorrow™ starts with being more inclusive today. By including everyone and getting excited about different perspectives, we make way for out-of-this-world thinking. Diversity of thought will give us the edge we need to reinvent our products, our business and reshape the consumer experience. As a member of our team, you'll join an exceptional workplace, collaborating across borders with colleagues from multiple disciplines to evolve our business in one of the most dynamic phases of our history.
We match the requirements of the job to the ability and potential of the individual, and fair-minded employment principles underpin our culture and all our operations. The principles state that we won't discriminate in hiring, promotion or retirement decisions on the grounds of candidates' or employees' race, colour, gender, age, social class, religion, smoking habits, sexual orientation, politics or disability.
A Sustainable Approach
As we build A Better Tomorrow™, sustainability is at the core of our business. It is crucial to creating a responsible future for our consumers, shareholders, stakeholders and our company. It's not new to BAT either – as a major international business in a controversial sector, we have long been aware of our responsibilities and our ability to address issues on a global scale.
We have a long history in sustainability and contributions to communities, with significant progress including:
