Ceylon Tobacco Company - People and culture

The quality of our people is a major reason why we continue to perform well – and why we are so excited about the future as we work together to deliver our commitment to creating “A Better Tomorrow”.

Our reputation as a leading employer in Sri Lanka helps us stand out in an increasingly competitive employment market, and our people are key to delivering our strategy.

The accelerated pace of transformation both in our industry and the organisation demands that our people are ambitious, courageous and resilient; that they live and breathe our ethos as they continue to drive and own results.

As competition for good people intensifies, we need to build a strong and clearly differentiated reputation as an employer. For many people, the attractions of a rewarding career with a major international business that values their contribution and supports their professional learning and development, are key factors in their decision to work for us.

We are proud to acknowledge that CTC has continued to retain its position as a Top Employer as certified by the Top Employer Institute for the third consecutive year, reiterating our commitment to upholding a culture built on robust People strategies and practices. We believe this indicates CTC’s continued efforts towards talent development, fostering diversity, and encouraging an inclusive and flexible work environment for our employees.
