Who we are
 We are committed to being a great employer and a good corporate citizen. We strive to be environmentally and socially responsible. We are dedicated to fighting the illegal cigarette trade. And we proudly support the communities where we source tobacco and where our employees live and work.
 
 Five of the world’s top 15 international brands, spanning more than
 ~170
 markets, are ours, including
 
  Marlboro
 
 , the world’s number one. We operate
 51
 production facilities globally.
 
 
 Our products are the choice of 150 million consumers worldwide, and for those who choose to continue to smoke, we will continue to offer them the best quality products. But that’s not where our vision for smokers ends.
 
  We’re dedicated to doing something very dramatic
 
 —replacing cigarettes with the smoke-free products that we’re developing and selling.
 
 That’s why we have more than 
 1,460
  dedicated scientists, engineers, and technicians developing less harmful alternatives to cigarettes at our two research & development sites in Switzerland and Singapore.
 
 
  It’s the biggest shift in our history.
 
 And it’s the right one for our consumers, our company, our shareholders, and society.
