In 2020, our President & CEO Guy Meldrum recommitted Reynolds American Inc. to the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion pledge, joining 750 CEOs who have committed the companies they lead to demonstrably advancing diversity and inclusion in the workplace through meaningful action.

With more than 85% of our employees stating that this organization is a Great Place to Work in 2020, and again being honored as a FORTUNE Best Workplace, we are more committed than ever to actively promoting and fostering an inclusive and positive work culture that supports the company’s success. Reynolds American Inc. also earned 100% on the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index, designating it as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality.

No matter your gender, race, sexual orientation, background or beliefs, you are celebrated at Reynolds American and its subsidaries. We value diversity because it encourages innovation, creativity and different ways of thinking; it creates a fascinating place to work, with opportunities to collaborate with a wide range of people from various cultures, all with different perspectives, backgrounds and points of view.

We are pleased with the continuous progress we are making in building a sustainable pipeline of talent from a diverse range of backgrounds.

We encourage all employees to join our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) to empower and connect us all to one another. ERGs are designed to create an inclusive community and are open to all employees.

The Reynolds American Inc. group of companies stands against racism and discrimination in all forms, and we condemn all acts of hate against African Americans and other groups.

Our recruitment of a diverse workforce in order to foster a culture of inclusion where employees are treated equally will continue to be one of our top priorities.

We have a long way to go, but we will be relentless in our pursuit of this. As part of our ongoing efforts, during 2020, our CEO sent a letter to all employees reiterating our Ethos of Inclusion, we conducted a listening session with our African-American Employee Resource Group, and we held an employee town hall in which our employees shared their experiences with injustice and views about racism in America.
