According to Kristina Petrulienė, Head of People and Culture at JTI Baltics, the principle of equality requires tangible evidence through specific organizational decisions and metrics to be considered genuine. Petrulienė noted that compensation represents one of the most visible indicators of whether an organization truly adheres to principles of equality, suggesting that without demonstrable equal pay for equivalent work, other commitments remain merely rhetorical. JTI Baltics has maintained a consistent policy of equal pay for several years, a commitment that has undergone international evaluation.
This dedication was recognized last year when the company received the Global Equality Standard (GES) award from the international auditing firm Ernst & Young. This rigorous standard assesses the practical application of equality within the company, covering areas such as compensation structures, employee selection processes, and professional development training. The achievement highlights JTI’s commitment to embedding fairness into its operational framework.
For JTI Baltics, the successful attainment of this standard confirms that equality is not just a stated policy but a measurable component of the corporate culture. The award underscores the organization’s dedication to ensuring that internal practices are equitable and align with global standards for workplace fairness.
