British American Tobacco Kenya - BAT Kenya

British American Tobacco Kenya plc (BAT Kenya) is part of the British American Tobacco Group (BAT Group), a leading multi-category consumer goods business. Our purpose is to build A Better Tomorrow by reducing the health impact of our business through offering a greater choice of enjoyable and less risky products for our consumers.

BAT has a long history and rich heritage in Kenya. We’ve been around since 1907 and listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange since 1969.

Our business involves activities ranging from the growing of tobacco leaf to the distribution and sale of finished tobacco products and nicotine products without tobacco.

Over the years, we have evolved into one of the world’s leading consumer goods companies, with sustainability at the front and center of everything we do. We are proud of our history and excited about the opportunity to write an exciting new chapter in our success story.

We believe that our company has more than stood the test of time because we’ve always excelled at anticipating and meeting the preferences of our traditional consumers, adult smokers. Today, consumers’ desires and tastes are evolving, new technologies are emerging and societal attitudes are changing. These changes present new opportunities we could not previously have imagined.

British American Tobacco Kenya plc (BAT Kenya) is on a transformation journey to become a business that defines itself, not by the products it sells, but by the consumer needs it meets.We are building on our strong foundations to build the enterprise of the future.

Our purpose is to build A Better Tomorrow for our stakeholders by reducing the health impact of our business. This is underpinned by our Environment, Social and Governance priorities: driving excellence in environmental management, delivering a positive social impact and ensuring robust corporate governance across the business.

Our heritage – and the foundation of our success – is in cigarettes. And while cigarettes will be at the core of our business for some time to come, we aim to transition to innovative nicotine products as an alternative to smoking, to reduce the health impact of our business.
