The Art of GR. Building Effective Business-Government Relations

Tobacco industry is one of the most regulated and restricted sectors in the global economy. At the same time, tobacco producers are among the biggest contributors to state budgets in many CEE countries.

In this interview with Nadiya Bilous, Director of GR at BAT Ukraine, we will touch upon:

• The challenges that GR teams at tobacco companies face;
• Increasing restrictions on business that companies in this sector have to deal with;
• Coalition-building, advocacy and other GR tools professionals are using to advance corporate interests;
• Challenges facing regional GR team management under COVID-19.
