British American Tobacco New Zealand - Diversity & Inclusion
At BATNZ, we're committed to reducing the health impact of our business for all stakeholders, including society, consumers, employees, and shareholders. Diversity and inclusion are crucial to realising our vision for A Better Tomorrow as we transform our business.
We aim to create a safe, inclusive, and diverse workplace that reflects the community and customers we serve. By embracing diversity and inclusion, we can develop top talent, engage our workforce, and deliver high-quality services to our customers.
BATNZ embraces the unique qualities of our people and strives to create a welcoming and inclusive culture where everyone can be their authentic selves at work. This includes:
- Gender: Achieving a gender balanced workforce benefits everyone and we welcome people of all gender identities and expressions. We strive for gender equity in promotional and development opportunities, remuneration and reward.
- Ethnicity & Religion: We celebrate cross-cultural and religious diversity, including a mix of different ethnicities, nationalities, and religions in our team that reflects our customer base and global organisation.
- Accessibility: A person is only disabled if their environment allows it. We recognise people with all kinds of abilities and provide an environment where they feel accepted and included.
- Rainbow: We see it as our responsibility to ensure all our people feel valued, included and safe at work, no matter what their sexual orientation is or who they chose to identify as, championing LGBTQI+ inclusion in the workplace and beyond.
- Age: We embrace and value our changing workforce demographic and support our people through their key life stages.
- Cross industry hires: To achieve our purpose of A Better Tomorrow, we recognise the need for new and diverse perspectives, skills, and leadership styles. We are committed to providing a culture and environment that fosters and supports the growth of such diverse perspectives.
