Community Investment

Our global presence allows us to tackle some of the most pressing social challenges. Through our programs, we create a better future for the communities in which we operate.

Strengthening social inclusion and resilience

Everyone should have the opportunity to participate in the social, economic and cultural life of their communities. Over the last 25 years, we have invested more than half a billion dollars across more than 60 countries around the globe in projects that aim to do just this. 

Our initiatives focus on making communities more inclusive. And through the JTI Foundation helping them to become more resilient to natural and human-made disasters. Creating a better future is part of our purpose. It always has been, and it always will be. 

Creating positive change

We strive to create a better future. Our programs foster inclusiveness and empower people to participate and engage in their communities.

Time well spent 

Volunteering is central to our Community Investment. We allow employees to use work hours for community service, benefiting both them and local communities. This enriches community engagement, helps employees learn new skills, and makes them proud to contribute to a meaningful cause.

Between 2015 and 2030 we will invest US$600 million to help make communities inclusive and resilient, with our employees contributing 300,000 volunteering hours.
