OUR BUSINESS PRINCIPLES

Our Business Principles cover the key issues that we believe underpin Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) for the unique characteristics of a tobacco business. Together, the three principles below form the basis on which we expect our business to be run in terms of responsibility.

The Principle of Mutual Benefit

This Principle is the basis on which we build relationships with our stakeholders. We are primarily in business to build long-term shareholder value and we believe the best way to do this is to seek to understand and take account of the needs of all our stakeholders.

The Principle of Good Corporate Conduct

This Principle is the basis on which our business should be managed. Business success brings with it an obligation to high standards of behaviour and integrity in everything we do and wherever we operate. These standards should not be compromised for the sake of results.

The Principle of Responsible Product Stewardship

This Principle is the basis on which we meet consumer demand for a legal product that is generally accepted as a cause of serious diseases. Therefore, our products and brands should be developed, manufactured and marketed in a responsible manner.
