Employees leading change

Our employee resource groups are invaluable partners in our mission to cultivate a vibrant, inclusive community.

PRIDEPlus

PRIDE


PRIDE is our Employee Resource Group that aims to empower LGBTIQ+ employees by championing visibility and peer-to-peer support.

The group supports a truly inclusive JTI, open to and supportive of its LGBTIQ+ employees.

The Pride ERG has been a space where my identity is not just accepted but celebrated. As a neurodivergent queer woman, I’ve grown personally and professionally - and had the chance to lead with authenticity and empathy.

Process Automation Manager and Woman of Pride ambassador for Eastern Europe

TogetHER

TogetHER was set up to advance women’s empowerment and equal opportunities at JTI.  

This employee resource group fosters an environment where women support each other through mentoring, coaching and sponsoring. It also raises awareness about unconscious bias and encourages men to drive change.

JTI takes gender equity and equality seriously as an important and strategic corporate initiative. Building and promoting it is not only a necessity but also an opportunity for us to grow as an excellent organization. As Excom sponsor, I am fully committed to the journey with all employees in the community. Let's join forces and drive the journey forward together.

Embrace

Embrace is our employee resource group dedicated to raising awareness about race and ethnicity. We encourage open and honest conversations to help everyone understand each other better and create a true sense of belonging.

Collectively, we can ignite change, celebrate our differences and build a brighter, united future for all. As co-chair of Embrace, I'm driven by a profound passion to foster conversations and education on cultural and ethnic diversity impacting marginalized groups.

Minds of all Kinds (MOAK)

MOAK is our employee resource group dedicated to making diversity of thought easy, engaging and accessible for all.
We support the inclusion of people who have different styles of problem-solving, decision-making, analyzing, organizing, communicating and probably even coffee making.

Our strengths come from our differences. A team with diversity of thought is essential to thriving in today's ever-changing world.
