  • Institute for Social Marketing
    TGP96 Tobacco and Primary Medical Services (Scotland) Bill Institute for Social Marketing We appreciate the opportunity to contribute to this consultation. One of the primary purposes of the Bill is to control the display of tobacco products in order to reduce the attractiveness of cigarettes, which will be the exclusive focus of our submission. We demonstrate the need for the removal of point-of- sale (POS) tobacco displays via summation of the business literature, recent UK research and tobacco industry documents. Business case: Why a ban on tobacco displays will be good for small shops There has been a lot of misleading debate about the business impact of removing POS display. In reality, far from harming small shops, this legislation will help them move their businesses in a progressive and forward looking direction. Small shops succeed because they provide good, personalised service that meets the needs of their customers and local communities. Customers are important for obvious reasons, and getting plenty of them into the shop - increasing ‘footfall’ - is a key concern. Community support is equally important, however, because small shops draw most (60%) of their custom from people living within 440 yards of the outlet (Convenience Store, 2007). In deference to this local focus the Association of Convenience Stores has for years run a major promotional campaign to find stores that are ‘Community Heroes’, arguing that “more and more retailers are recognising the importance of being at the heart of their community” (ACS, 2009). The massive tobacco gantries that currently dominate many small shops, far from helping small shopkeepers meet these key objectives, actually hinder them.

Background The importance of Corporate Governance and Proxy Voting have long been recognised. The Cadbury Report in 1992, commissioned in response to continuing concern about companies’ standards of financial reporting and accountability and to controversy over directors’ pay clearly stated that “given the weight of their votes, the way in which institutional shareholders use their power to influence the standards of corporate governance is of fundamental importance.” In January 2004, Paul Myners’ report to the Shareholder Voting Working Group re-iterated this.

One sector that has lucrative revenue and profits is the tobacco industry (see chart). Although the sector makes billions in revenue, it pays relatively little in corporate taxes. Tobacco’s Big Four transnational companies - British American Tobacco, Imperial Brands, Japan Tobacco and Philip Morris - make extensive use of the entire range of common tax avoidance methods. We did not find any clear evidence of illegal practices (tax evasion), but analysis of their annual reports and those of a number of crucial subsidiaries in the period 2010-2019 shows that all four have ‘aggressive tax planning’ strategies, in spite of their own codes of conduct suggesting otherwise.

  • Annual Report and Accounts 06
    Annual Report and Accounts 06 Annual Review and Summary Financial Statement and Directors’ Report and Accounts 2006 WorldReginfo - 98675577-a5f8-41aa-ac01-37c1b8bcb2da About this combined Report The format of our reporting has been changed to accommodate the inclusion, for the first time, of an Operating and Financial Review (OFR). In preparing the OFR, we have sought to take into account, where considered appropriate, the best practice set out in the UK Accounting Standards Board’s ‘Reporting Statement: Operating and Financial Review’. We have responded to the spirit of the OFR by offering shareholders a balanced and comprehensive analysis of our current business and describing the significant industry trends that are likely to influence our future prospects. For the first time, we have published our Key Performance Indicators, some other important Business Measures and the Group’s Key Risk Factors. We have also attempted to avoid having too much information in one publication. Our corporate website bat.com has a wealth of material about the Group and, in May 2007, we plan to publish our latest Social Report, detailing progress during 2006 on a range of commitments and actions. We will carefully consider the structure and content of our future reporting in the light of developments in the field and the advice and comments we receive about this publication. The full content of this combined Report is under this flap. Leave it open as a reference to find your way to the different topics covered. Cautionary Statement: the Operating and Financial Review and certain other sections of this document contain forward looking statements which are subject to risk factors associated with, among other things, the economic and business circumstances occurring from time to time in the countries and markets in which the Group operates.

  • The Tobacco Industry Documents What They Are, What They Tell Us, and How to Search Them
    THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY DOCUMENTS WHAT THEY ARE, WHAT THEY TELL US, AND HOW TO SEARCH THEM A PRACTICAL MANUAL The WHO Tobacco Free Initiative would like to thank Dr Norbert Hirschhorn for the preparation of this document. F O R E W O R D THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY DOCUMENTS:WHAT THEY ARE, WHAT THEY TELL US, AND HOW TO SEARCH THEM 04 In 1998, six million once secret documents from seven cigarette manufacturers doing business in the US became available to the public as a result of legal action. There were documents from 7 cigarette manufacturers and two affiliated organizations: Philip Morris Incorporated, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corporation, British American Tobacco Industries, Lorillard Tobacco Company, the American Tobacco Company, the Liggett Group, the Tobacco Institute and the Council for Tobacco Research. The documents that include letters, fax, memos, etc written by company scientist, consultants, lawyers, top executives, other employees and outside organizations amounted to over 35 million pages. In 2002, the WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean published the first edition of The tobacco industry documents: what they are, what they tell us, and how to search them. A practical manual. The aim was to help journalists, public health professionals and advocates, government officials and the public to search these documents and thereby expand their use outside academia. Recognizing the value of the information contained in these internal industry document archives, while also acknowledging its limitations, the WHO Tobacco Free Initiative decided to publish a second edition of the manual. The information provided in these documents, as well as the reports that have been prepared describing their content, provide a wealth of information about some of the plans and processes of the tobacco companies in their attempt to delay or obstruct tobacco control measures and policies.
