R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company Named One of Fortune's "100 Best Companies to Work For"

In its annual survey released today, Fortune magazine has named R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company (RJRT) as one of the "100 Best Companies to Work For."

"We are very honored that Fortune magazine recognized Reynolds Tobacco as one of the country's best employers," said Andrew J. Schindler, chairman and CEO.

According to Schindler, there is a key reason Reynolds Tobacco won this award. "It's the people," he noted. "Without the hard work, creative energy, pride and dedication of our employees, this company could not be successful.

"The real secret to Reynolds Tobacco's success is that our employees stand together as a close corporate family – and that's what makes our company stand apart from the crowd," Schindler said. "This company is filled with extraordinary people, making Reynolds Tobacco an extraordinarily good place to work."

The fourth annual, top-employers list, published in the Jan. 8 issue of Fortune, was compiled through extensive research and analysis of companies and collaboration with Robert Levering and Milton Moskowitz, the best-selling authors of The 100 Best Companies to Work For in America. Two-thirds of each company's evaluation was based on feedback from an employee survey, which evaluated trust in management, pride in work and the company, and camaraderie. The remaining third of the evaluation was based on a cultural audit, human-resources information and supplementary materials, such as employee handbooks and newsletters, provided by the company.

R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: RJR). R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company is the second-largest tobacco company in the United States, manufacturing about one of every four cigarettes sold in the United States. Reynolds Tobacco’s product line includes four of the nation’s 10 best-selling cigarette brands: Winston, Camel, Salem and Doral. For more information, visit the company’s web site at www.rjrt.com.
