    Goals / Remit

    We were formed in 1999 when our parent company JT Group acquired the non-US operations of R.J. Reynolds. Since then, our international workforce has driven two decades of growth.

    Today, we have more than 45,000 employees driving our success all over the world. Our mission is to nurture our internationally recognized brand roster while leading the way in Reduced-Risk Products and new ways of doing business.

    We are committed to making our business not only the fastest growing of its kind, but also the most innovative and sustainably run.

    JTI recognizes that cigarettes are a legal but controversial product. People smoke for pleasure but there are real risks that come with that pleasure. Accordingly, JTI believes that tobacco products should be appropriately regulated.

    We believe in the freedom of adults to choose whether they smoke or not. As much as we value and believe in freedom of choice for adults, we also recognize the importance of making informed decisions.

    Meetings

    4 meetings found. Download meetings

    The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.

    1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
