Our Diversity and Inclusion Programs: Elevating A Better Tomorrow™

A Great Organization Made Even Better By Great People.

Maintaining and building on our diverse workforce is an essential element of our journey to build A Better Tomorrow™.

We succeed when our people do. Our benefits support our employees’ professional and personal life. That, coupled with our dynamic people has earned us recognition for being a unique and outstanding place to work.

By 2025 we have ambitions and plans in place to reach gender parity in management roles and to have 25% minority representation in management roles (African-American, Asian-American, Hispanic-American).

Amplifying Diversity

No matter your gender, race, sexual orientation, background, or beliefs, you are celebrated at Reynolds American Inc. 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.

Encouraging Community

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.
