From the Paper:

"British American Tobacco is committed to personal growth and development and the international corporation implements a human resource performance management system. The first points on the HR performance management agenda refer to creating a safe and pleasant environment where BAT employees can activate. Activating in a rather dangerous sector, the cigars and cigarette manufacturer strives to offer their personnel a safe and pleasant working environment in which they return gladly."
