British American Tobacco New Zealand - Working with retailers
Our operations span the globe. Our companies and our people ensure they are supported as responsibly as possible – from crop in the fields through to the consumer.
Strong relationships are key
Trade marketing is a large part of our activity – managing business-to-business relationships with the retailers who sell our products. We place as strong an emphasis on being a high-quality supplier to the trade as we do on working to ensure high standards among our own suppliers.
Our trade marketing and distribution employees work globally with retailers and develop mutually beneficial partnerships.
We’re always working to ensure we are the partner of choice to the trade wherever we do business. We work to operate in the most efficient and effective way so retailers can offer the products our consumers want to buy, where they want them, when they want them, at the right quality, price and quantity.
It is the nature of our industry that we do business with a substantial cross section of customers, ranging from the largest retail corporations to small independent shop owners.
As well as many hundreds of regional and local customers, we work with key customers at a global level.
