Howard Parks, JTI's Senior Vice President of HR and Executive
Committee member shared his views on why JTI consistently ranks
amongst the world's best employers: "Above all, it's our employees
who make JTI a Top Employer. Like investors, they truly care about
the future success of our organization while we also believe that
when they succeed, we succeed. By benchmarking our people-practices
against the world's leading Top Employers, we always ensure that our
organization remains an employer of choice for current and future
employees."

JTI's best-in-class HR practices are not only recognized by the
Top Employers Institute, but equally valued by its nearly 45,000
employees worldwide: In JTI's recent global Employee Engagement
Survey, 95% of employees believed strongly in the values and
objectives of JTI, 95% are willing to go the extra mile to help the
company succeed, and 89% of employees said they would recommend JTI
to a friend as a great place to work.

JTI's offices across the globe were recognized for their excellent
employee conditions, outstanding opportunities for learning and
development, and best-in-class HR practices, as confirmed by an
independent assessment undertaken by the Top Employers Institute.

"We are delighted to support JTI's ambition to continuously
improve the HR policies that affect close to 45,000 employees
worldwide. Over the years, we have seen great progress with regards
to best in class talent practices throughout the organization. This
is proven by the consistent presence of JTI in the top regional
ratings and one of the first companies to be certified as Global Top
Employers since 2015," said David Plink, CEO of Top Employers
Institute.
