Our commitment to suppliers
As our supplier, you can count on PMI’s commitment to always treat our suppliers fairly. Good ethical judgment requires honesty, respect, and fairness. These shared ethical values are part of the “PMI way” of doing business, and are reflected in our code of conduct.
Our goal is to create sustainable, long-term relationships with our suppliers. We recognize the major role that our suppliers play in helping us to achieve our vision of a smoke-free future.
Our suppliers help us to fulfil our mission
The success of our business depends on our ability to collaborate with suppliers that not only provide the highest quality products and services, but are also philosophically and strategically aligned with our commitment to social and environmental responsibilities and our business integrity principles.
In 2020, we launched our “Global Supplier Recognition Program,” to acknowledge and celebrate our suppliers who exceptionally contributed to supporting PMI in the areas of sustainability, innovation and value creation. The program gives us a unique opportunity to thank all our suppliers and champion the best-in-class solutions. Because it is only together that we succeed. Read more about our latest award winners.
