British American Tobacco Recognised as a Top Employer in Europe for Ninth Year Running

London (ots/PRNewswire) - British American Tobacco is proud to
announce that it has earned the Top Employer Europe seal of
recognition for the ninth year running. In addition, 17 markets in
the newly formed Europe & North Africa Region at BAT have been
certified as Top Employers: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France,
Germany, Greece, Italy, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Poland, Romania,
Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine and United Kingdom.

Top Employer certification recognises companies which strive to
create exceptional conditions for their employees. The organisations
that are certified as a Top Employer are those that have worked hard
to create, implement and drive progressive 'people-oriented' HR
strategies, which enable employees to develop both professionally and
personally.

Tamas Csejtei, British American Tobacco's Regional Head of HR,
Europe & North Africa, said: "This award is testimony to the
continuous and sustained achievement of many of our people across the
region. It recognises our focus and commitment to creating a world
class organisation where people can make a difference as we transform
our business and our industry. I thank everyone in the region who
contributed to this certification!"

David Plink, CEO of The Top Employers Institute, said: "We believe
that the 2019 certified organisations demonstrate exceptional
employee conditions and encourage the development of these practices
by putting their people first. These companies help enrich the world
of work with their outstanding dedication to HR excellence and
because of this, they are recognised as an employer of choice."
