What Does Our Sustainable Future Look Like | PMI - Philip Morris International

For PMI, sustainability is more than just a means to minimize negative externalities and mitigate risks while maximizing operational efficiency and resource optimization. We see it as a fundamental opportunity for innovation, growth, and purpose-led, impact-driven, long-term value creation. Accordingly, we work hard to integrate sustainability into every aspect of our business and activities.

Our redesigned ESG framework recognizes two distinct forms of issues: Those that relate to our products (what we produce), which are part of the “Product Impact” pillar, and those related to our business operations (how we produce), which are part of the “Operational Impact” pillar.

Addressing the social impacts generated by our products is the core of our strategy. These are the areas on which we must focus our resources, to innovate and develop solutions that can contribute to solving some of society's most pressing challenges. This also represents and opportunity for growth and our strongest competitive advantage. The biggest and most pressing negative externality our strategy aims to address is the
health impacts of cigarette smoking. This is the most important contribution we can make to public health and is the cornerstone of PMI’s purpose and business strategy.
