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. We know we must play our part in ensuring all consumers of tobacco products understand the associated risks when making the decision to smoke or not.
JTI also believes in the freedom of adults to choose whether they want to smoke and that no one should smoke unless he or she understands the risks of doing so. These risks distinguish tobacco from most consumer goods and they place upon the industry a real responsibility. It's a responsibility for which JTI expects to be held accountable, together with governments and the rest of society.
