JT’s Strategy and Management category score increased as JT announced in 2021 that for the first time the board's bonus would partly (10% of the total) depend on RRP performance.
JT’s Product Sales and Product Offer category scores declined following the company’s decision to withdraw its closed system vaping product (Logic) from Ukraine in January 2021, citing a “lack of demand”.
JT’s Product Sales category score was also negatively impacted by the company’s increasing (CAGR 2019-2021: +0.8%) HRP Volume Sales.
