A better future is about protecting the planet and having positive environmental impact.
We're taking bold action to tackle climate change, conserve nature, and create positive environmental impact across our value chain.
We reduce our environmental footprint through renewable energy, energy-efficiency projects, lower-emission mobility programs, and water stewardship programs. We also promote sustainable agriculture through crop rotation, soil and water conservation, and deforestation-free sourcing, helping growers and communities build resilience for the future.
By addressing climate-related risks and opportunities we are increasing business resilience in the face of climate change.
Find out more about these programs and how we aim to achieve our climate goals in our Climate transition plan.
At JTI, we stand at a critical juncture as we confront the reality of climate change. Our inaugural Climate Transition Plan is a blueprint for transforming our business in a rapidly changing world.
We’re transforming our operations to have a positive impact on the planet, with clear targets to reduce emissions, conserve resources and enhance nature.

Strengthening environmental management
We align our environmental and energy management systems with the globally recognized ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 standards. ISO 14001 requires us to consider environmental impacts from our own operations and our value chain, while ISO 50001 provides us with a recognized framework to optimize energy performance across our operations.
These frameworks support our commitments and actions to improve energy efficiency.
Alongside our efforts to source more renewable electricity, this work helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with the energy used in our operations.
We also promote responsible water use by aligning our approach with the Alliance for Water Stewardship Standard. This globally applicable framework helps organizations understand their water use, impacts and dependencies and supports sustainable water management.
Together, these standards help us build effective management systems and continually improve our environmental and energy performance.
Our approach to procurement goes beyond purchasing - it’s about driving positive change across our supply chain. We work closely with suppliers to help them enhance their environmental management and performance, such as reducing their emissions, reducing waste in their manufacturing operations, and avoiding deforestation. By integrating sustainability criteria like energy efficiency and compliance with regulatory frameworks and JTI Supplier Standards, we ensure sustainability is embedded in our procurement practices.
Climate change represents a real risk to our business and communities worldwide. Throughout our value chain, increasing temperatures, extreme weather events and other climate impacts are already disrupting operations.
Tackling climate change is a shared responsibility. To play our part we’re reducing emissions by:
lowering the amount of energy we use in factories, offices and warehouses, through more energy-efficient equipment, infrastructure and processes
increasing the proportion of renewable energy we use
moving to lower carbon vehicles and fuels
working with our suppliers to reduce emissions in our value chain.
We’re focused on protecting water resources, cutting waste, and protecting and restoring biodiversity. To us, biodiversity means the variety of plant and animal life and the ecosystems in which they live. We’re committed to strengthening ecosystem resilience and advancing more sustainable farming practices that support soil health, water stewardship and the long-term health of natural environments.
