Imperial Tobacco Canada - Strategy and Purpose
Our vision is for A Smokeless World built on smokeless products where, ultimately, cigarettes have become a thing of the past.
Our Approach at a Glance
Our strategic aim is to generate an increasingly greater proportion of our revenues from smokeless products, and by doing so, building a Smokeless World to realize our purpose of building A Better Tomorrow ™.
- We are committed to providing adult consumers with a wide range of enjoyable and less risky products.
- We continue to be clear that combustible cigarettes pose serious health risks, and the only way to avoid these risks is not to start or to quit.
- We encourage those who otherwise continue to smoke to switch completely to scientifically substantiated, smokeless alternatives.
- We will track and share progress of our transformation.
We believe there are three key enablers to make this a reality: enabling consumer choice, substantiating the reduced-risk profile of New Category products through world-class science and advocating for responsible regulation and enforcement.
