Equitable and fair employment conditions are beneficial to societal harmony and well-being and are central to a sustainable and prosperous future. Effective professional development opportunities ensure that employees can pursue professional opportunities and contribute meaningfully to our business and society.

By ensuring that all people who work with us enjoy a safe and healthy work environment, and by attending to their physical and mental well-being, we can positively impact their lives beyond the workplace.

Moreover, by ensuring an equitable and fair workplace—essential to unlocking social and economic development—we instill in our people a sense of belonging and purpose. This can have positive spillover effects outside of our organization and sets an example for corporate best practice.

Our long-term business success relies on our people—on the dedication, talent, and passion they bring to work. Accordingly, it is essential for us to provide a fair and inclusive workplace that upholds good working conditions and labor rights, protects the health and safety of employees, promotes well-being, and offers opportunities to grow, upskill, and improve their employability. As a global company, we harness the value that varied nationalities in our workforce bring to our business, contributing to our success, reflecting our diverse consumers’ evolving expectations.

As our company continues to rapidly transform, appreciating the value of human capital becomes key. Investing in our people and enhancing their skills, knowledge, and experience by providing meaningful opportunities helps us to attract, onboard, develop, and retain talented individuals who can contribute fully to our company’s smoke-free vision. Furthermore, we strongly believe that an inclusive culture improves decision-making, innovation, customer orientation, and employee satisfaction.
