BAT Partners With McLaren For Tobacco Transformation Initiative

British American Tobacco (BAT) has announced a new global partnership with McLaren to drive its new initiative, Transforming Tobacco.

Through this partnership, BAT is aiming to build a portfolio of products that offer less risky tobacco and nicotine choices to consumers.

Mutual Experience

BAT will work closely with McLaren Applied Technologies and share technological expertise, best practices, processes, know-how, and mutual experience.

Commenting on the partnership, BAT’s chief marketing officer, Kingsley Wheaton, said, "It gives us a truly global platform with which to drive greater resonance of our potentially reduced-risk products, including our Vype, Vuse and glo brands."

"Ultimately, innovation and technology will support us in creating a 'better tomorrow' for our consumers worldwide."
