N2  - This article aims to examine the potentially controversial role of sustainability reporting in the tobacco industry and to see how the selected company reacted to the new EU Directive 2014/95/EU on non-financial reporting. The key findings are: (1) The company was actively preparing for sustainability reporting even before the new regulation came into force; (2) The parent company was concerned about the impact of its activities on stakeholders including the local community; (3) Financial donations became less popular through the years; (4) The company states that it cares about the health of its customers, the working environment, and the labour conditions of its suppliers. Even though the company operates as part of a controversial industry, it is trying to convince stakeholders, using its reporting style, that it is socially and environmentally responsible.
