BAT Vietnam - Diversity Inclusion culture creates a deeper connection among employees at BAT Vietnam

Over the years, BAT Vietnam has organized various events focusing on D&I and starts to see encouraging results in gender diversity numbers. In particular, the senior-level management of BAT Vietnam comprises 46% women, and our overall female management stands at 42%. In the company’s bi-annual employee engagement survey, the category “Diversity and Inclusion” received favourable responses from 89% of employees, compared to 76% in other global fast-moving consumer goods companies.

Such achievements are because the company approaches D&I from multiple angles. For example, advocating female talent, especially where there is still a societal bias against women in manufacturing and sales activities.

In addition, the company has implemented processes and governance throughout the employee lifecycle to minimize biases and ensure people are recruited, developed, and promoted purely on merit.

With the great results mentioned above, BAT Vietnam believes that D&I is always key in driving a deeper connection between employees and leaders. We will continue to create a consistently high trust, psychologically safe workplace, where employees are always welcomed and play a role in the development of the company.
