Our culture encourages innovation and rewards performance.
The Imperial Tobacco Group employs around 15,000 people worldwide and in the UK we employ around 2,600 people.
Our people are encouraged to develop as individuals and to co-operate for the greater good of the business sharing information and resources. It is a team effort where autonomy and personal responsibility are encouraged - individual decisions matter because they play a key role in our future success.
We have a loyal and highly-motivated workforce and we place a strong emphasis on maintaining high ethical standards in all of our business activities. We also continue to stand up for the freedom of adults to enjoy smoking.
In the UK, our success is as much about our people as it is our products. We look after our people and value them for their individuality and diversity, their integrity and their hard work.
