Intro: "It is thanks to the thousands of employees who have called Imperial
Tobacco Canada home that we are able to celebrate this milestone today. They
are the foundation of the company, and each generation has served to reinforce
this foundation," said Benjamin Kemball, president and CEO of Imperial Tobacco
Canada. "We would not be the industry leader without the passion that people
have put into their work. We would not have been able to meet the challenges
without the innovative spirit of our people."
Throughout the first century of its existence, the company has been
faithful to its St. Henri roots. . . .
Imperial Tobacco Canada is committed to the highest standards of social
responsibility as set out in its statement of business principles. The company
also complies with the Imagine Canada commitment of donating at least 1% of
pre-tax profits. Imperial Tobacco Canada has shaped arts and culture, fashion,
sports and human services over the years and today its Foundation is focused
on arts and culture, care for the elderly and education.
"Even after one hundred years of passion and innovation, the future is
still filled with challenges which Imperial Tobacco Canada will meet with
success. To do so, we must continue to understand and identify the needs of
adult Canadian smokers and deliver on their expectations," added Mr. Kemball.
