Why British American Tobacco in Vietnam?

BAT ON GLOBAL SCALE
We are British American Tobacco, a truly global company with a highly successful past and an exciting future ahead of us. 

We are – a truly international company, often among the top five companies on the London Stock Exchange and market leaders in more than 55 countries. We strengthened our global presence even further in 2017 when we acquired Reynolds American Inc., making us one of the main players in the U.S. market too.


We’ve been around a long time – since 1902 in fact – and have evolved into one of the world’s leading consumer goods companies, proud of our history and excited about the opportunity to write a new chapter in our success story.

There are 55,000 BAT people worldwide. Many of us are based in offices and factories, but lots of us also spend our time out on the road, helping and advising tobacco farmers, and the retailers who sell our products; both valued partners who have always played a major part in our success.


BAT IN VIETNAM
BAT started its operations in Vietnam in October 1994, and has been one o the leading international FMCG multinational companies in the past 24 years in Vietnam. 

In 2001 BAT established a partnership with Vinataba, through a joint venture company named British American Tobacco-Vinataba, with the main business function of growing and processing tobacco.

In 2004, the British American Tobacco-Vinataba officially operated a plant in Dong Nai Province to supply cut rag to Vinataba and other factories. This is acknowledged as one of BAT’s most modern processing factories in the world.


In 2014, BAT formed a second partnership with Vinataba by establishing the VINA-BAT JV Co. to produce cigarette sticks.

To become the tobacco industry’s leader, we have to continue proving ourselves as a responsible tobacco company with talented employees, powerful brands, highly complies with the local law and contributes to the community where we are operating. 

We have set our 5 key strategic pillars which are believed will help us achieve the above targets.

CULTURE AND DIVERSITY
Our industry is fiercely competitive. We lead it because of our people. Different people from different cultures, with a wide range of strengths. This diversity makes us who we are. What we have in common is a desire to be the best at what we do. And the resources we need to do it.

Why our GGP:
A truly fast-track programme designed to build talented fresh graduates into future business leaders of BAT. 

What GGP looks like:
It is a marathon that lasts 12 months, where you are stretched to the limits and surpass different better versions of yourself. Starting with Day-1 KPI, you then swim in the sea of knowledge which demands on a high level of agility. Things are about to get tougher when tasks show up as a burden on your shoulder, added by a pile of deadlines constantly chasing you from behind. You will be then involved or take lead of several projects, in which reaching the end goals is as same difficulty to reaching the top of a mountain. All these learnings and tasks will eventually become your wings which will fly you to the precious end of the programme – BAT Academy.

Do you have what it takes to be one of us?
With the proposition “What you are made of?”, we truly embrace the unique characteristics of each young talent as we believe each person is special in their own way, and together we can turn these differences into advantages for both sides – the company and the talent. If questions and wonders are popping up in your mind, find out the answers by applying for our Global  Graduate Programme now! Surely you will have us alongside you till the end of your discovery. 


How GGP is built:
We understand that reaching the finish line in this so-called marathon is not a piece of cake, and that is why we have prepared some valuable aids for your long journey.
Onboarding: The programme starts with an intensive 3-week Onboarding, which takes you through the world of BAT, including our history, vision and values, and the underlying strategy called the BAT way. 

World-class learning: We offer you training opportunities at all levels, ranging from foundation to management. You will be trained on how to lead yourself as an individual and how you will play the key role in a project team. The functional and business awareness trainings are also a part of the agenda, helping develop you into management level at BAT. The opportunities do not just end there - you have access to more than three thousand online courses in our system to learn from. Your learning opportunities are abundant, and you need to make the best use of it.
Coaching: From the first day you are here, you are assigned a coach who are the key people to help you develop both your functional knowledge and leadership capabilities. In other words, they are a “senior-level buddy” throughout your 12-month programme who are committed to developing you into the best version you could be and the business would need. 

Mentoring: Apart from your coach, there will also be a Mentor partnering with you in your whole journey. They are Head of Functions who will give you guidance and advice on your professional and personal growth at BAT. Their leadership experience and practice are also the key to strengthening your leadership capabilities during the time. 

International Projects: While you are still just a few months into the programme, you will have the chance to step up for an even bigger challenge - working with colleagues from across BAT on an international project to add value to our business. Involving in such projects gives you the chance to make a real impact on our success. It is also an amazing opportunity to demonstrate your leadership potential, grow your international network and raise your profile within the business.

BAT Academy: Upon your graduation, you will be joining over a hundred fellow Global Graduates from all over the world, and get a chance to meet  our CEO, Management Board Leaders and the rest of #NextGenBAT leaders in this 2-week session. The BAT Academy exposes the graduates to a global view of how the business works & provide real-life business challenges to stimulate their thinking and  stretch their abilities.
