In the coming year, our focus will continue to be growing the feeling of belonging for our employees. We will carry on measuring our progress in this area through our Inclusion Net Promoter Score (iNPS). Throughout the year, we will leverage insights from this score and launch our new, parent-focused employee representation group to improve a sense of belonging among employees. Because we know that fostering an inclusive culture is the only way to really reap the benefits of diversity.

Another focus for us has been improving our employees’ well-being, taking into account how living in different areas can impact everyone differently. To address this, we are expanding our well-being champions network globally and will use them to foster discussion and activity across markets and find solutions.

While we have made huge progress in the last few years, especially with female representation, we know that more work must be done. So, in 2022 we also started designing a supplier diversity framework that aims to make sure we use inclusive sourcing practices at PMI by 2025. And we are working hard toward achieving our target of 35 percent of senior positions held by women by the end of 2025, through targeted programs and initiatives across both markets and business functions.

We will maintain our focus on occupational health and safety, seeking to continue our trend of low Total Recordable Injury Rate. This will include ramping up training on health and safety as factory workers return after COVID-19 restrictions and new hires are onboarded. Within our fleet, our focus will be on equipping all working-tool vehicles with telematics, and extending training on defensive driving techniques to minimize incident rates.
