Values that shape an exciting and winning company

Six ‘values’ shape an organisation that is committed to its purpose, exciting to work at and high performing.


We are committed to creating A Better Tomorrow™, transforming our business and Building a Smokeless World. We recognise that it is our people who will deliver our strategy. Six ‘values’, built on the strong foundations of our corporate culture, underpin how we will drive progress.

Developed with significant input from our employees, our values are the thread that must run through everything we do and how we do it - with a clear connection to our strategy and purpose. These six ‘values’ are embedded across the Group as we strive to empower our people and foster an exciting, rewarding workplace, emphasising inclusivity and collaboration to deliver sustainable growth.
