The worldwide internship competition for fresh thinkers

The gold standard: what does it mean to be a Global Top Employer?

We’re a young company operating on a global scale, which makes us all the more proud of the award winning culture we’ve fostered across our global operations.

Global Top Employer 2024

 

For the 10th consecutive year, we’ve been certified as a Global Top Employer!

On top of this global recognition, once again we have received regional certification in Europe, Africa, Asia Pacific, North America, and Middle East.

​​​​​This is a celebration of the people’s effort across different teams and JTI regions collectively striving for excellence and being committed to achieving great things together.

We do this by focusing on the long-term and celebrating our diversity. Fresh thinking and new ideas inspire us to innovate. Sometimes it’s the big ideas that drive change, but often it’s the small, everyday ideas that make the biggest difference in our people’s lives. We call this Kaizen – the spirit of continuous improvement imparted through our Japanese heritage.

Some people get the idea that being a working mom mean sacrificing time with one's child. At JTI, that's not the case. I get a great work-life balance, and can really enjoy my family and nature. This energizes me to perform better.

1. Acting today with tomorrow in mind

Our industry is unlike any other in the world – what’s more, it’s constantly changing. We’re lucky to have people who thrive on tackling the challenges we’re faced with, as we work together to build the best future imaginable for our business.

Yes, that means navigating ever-changing regulation, but it also means nurturing a sustainable leaf supply that works for us, our growers and their communities. It means cementing the position of our global flagship brands.

In fact, building a sustainable future is ingrained across every aspect of our business. We strive to create the types of working environments that will enable brilliant people to do the brilliant work, ensuring we continue to grow and evolve successfully and sustainably. One of the key ways we’re achieving this is by nurturing the best possible culture – one that embraces diversity and opportunity in a way that allows all of our employees to reach their full potential. 

That’s why one of our key sustainability targets is to be a certified employer of choice every year in at least 60 locations, by focusing on talent management, rewards and empowerment.

'A Very dynamic and always-changing journey at JTI'

Isabella, Marketing Director, HQ

"JTI is like a rock band - it comes with a strong foundation but never stops experimenting." Indeed, values and perceptions are shifting. The world is in constant motion. And at JTI, we move with it, embrace change, and stand for progress.

This isn't unusual for us at JTI - we encourage international experience, and support individuals and families on their adventures as they grow and discover new opportunities. Isabella started as a trainee in Brazil and has gone on to experience roles in a number of countries across Marketing, Sales, and Research. She now has a leading regional Marketing role at HQ. For her, it's all about curiosity - that's what has brought her on this dynamic, always-changing, and exciting journey. "You have to have that curiosity, you know?"
