British American Tobacco (BAT) has appointed Mike Nightingale as its first-ever Chief Sustainability Officer, tasked with leading the company's sustainable development and ESG agenda.


For the past decade, Nan Dingger has served as the head of investor relations for the group. Prior to this, he held senior leadership positions in sustainable development, regulation, and marketing.


In addition, to reflect BAT's corporate intentions and the increasing strategic importance of ESG and sustainable development for the group's growth, Kingsley Wheaton, the Chief Marketing Officer responsible for company affairs, will be reassigned as Chief Growth Officer.


Aside from overseeing the marketing efforts that promote the increased value of combustible materials and ensuring the gradual shift in performance for the new category, Kingsley has also taken the lead in prioritizing ESG as a key component of the group's strategy.


From September 1st, Florence Nightingale will assume the role of Chief Sustainable Development Officer and report to Kingsley.


Victoria Buxton, who currently holds the role of senior investor relations manager, will be promoted to head of the Investor Relations Group and will report to the Chief Financial and Transformation Officer, Tadeu Marroco, effective September 1.


I am delighted that Mike has been appointed as our first Chief Sustainability Officer," said Jack Bowles, CEO of British American Tobacco, in a statement. "Mike will lead us into a new era of thought leadership on sustainability. With his extensive business experience, most recently as head of investor relations group, he is well-equipped to tackle this challenge.


Similarly, Victoria has an impressive track record, both as a consumer industry stock analyst and more recently as a senior member of Mike's team. Her promotion is a testament to her energy, commitment, and drive.
