Report Highlights
British American Tobacco p.l.c. has published its third Sustainability Report at www.bat.com/sustainability. This Report builds on their vision for sustainable business - addressing key business-related social, environmental and economic impacts in a way that aims to build value for all their stakeholders, including their shareholders.
Based on the feedback they received for their previous Sustainability Reports, they continue to address their most challenging issues with an emphasis on evolving their approach to sustainability and to stakeholder engagement in order to develop robust plans to drive progress.
The Report presents a picture of their global sustainability activities including online features on nine of their key markets. It also covers their approach to sustainability management and progress against the five key goals that comprise their sustainability agenda:
Harm reduction: Strive to bring commercially viable, consumer acceptable reduced-risk products to market. Marketplace: Take a lead in upholding high standards of corporate conduct in the marketplace. Supply chain: Work for positive social, environmental and economic impact in the supply chain. Environment: Actively address the impacts of their business on the natural environment. People and culture: Work to ensure they have the right people and culture to meet their goals.
This is the third year Ernst & Young LLP have provided independent external assurance over the Report, guided by AA1000 Assurance Standard (2008) and ISAE 3000.
