At JTI, we believe that business success goes hand in hand with responsibility towards people, the environment, and the communities in which we operate. Our approach to sustainability is driven not only by our strategy but also by our corporate culture rooted in the company's Japanese heritage, founded on respect, responsibility, and long-term thinking. Every day, we strive to grow our business in a way that creates value both today and for future generations.
We are committed to fostering a workplace where everyone can develop their potential, feel safe, and be themselves.
At JTI Poland, we promote diversity, equal opportunities, and inclusion, while supporting employee well-being and investing in skills development. Our efforts are regularly recognized by independent organizations, as reflected in certifications such as Top Employer and the Global Equality Standard.
We also engage in community initiatives and employee volunteering programs, supporting local communities and helping address their most pressing needs.
Environmental protection is a key pillar of our sustainability strategy.
We implement solutions aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving energy efficiency, managing natural resources responsibly, and minimizing waste. Globally, JTI is working towards achieving carbon neutrality across its own operations while pursuing ambitious climate targets that extend throughout its value chain.
In Poland, an important step in this journey was the launch of a photovoltaic farm adjacent to JTI's manufacturing complex in Stary Gostków. The investment supports the use of renewable energy and forms part of our long-term efforts to reduce the environmental impact of our operations.
We are committed to conducting business in a responsible, transparent, and ethical manner.
We work closely with partners across our value chain to promote respect for human rights, responsible business practices, and a sustainable approach to development. At the same time, we continue to evolve our processes and business solutions to respond to changing expectations from society and our stakeholders.
JTI has been present in Poland since 2007. Our manufacturing complex in Stary Gostków is one of JTI's most important production hubs worldwide, while Warsaw is home not only to our commercial operations but also to JTI's largest Global Business Services organization. As a result, Poland plays an important role in delivering the company's global strategy, including in the area of sustainability.
We believe that building a better future requires collaboration, responsibility, and consistent action. That is why we make decisions every day that support our employees, local communities, and environmental protection.
