Product impact

The 2022 metrics marked with an asterisk (*) are subject to PwC’s Limited Assurance Report.

Notes: In the fourth quarter of 2022, we acquired Swedish Match, a market leader in oral nicotine delivery with a significant presence in the United States market. The Swedish Match acquisition is a key milestone in PMI’s transformation to becoming a smoke-free company. PMI consolidated statements of earnings for the year ended December 31, 2022, include the results of operations of Swedish Match from November 11, 2022 (acquisition date) to December 31, 2022, as presented in the Form 10-K for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022.

Following the Swedish Match acquisition and a review of PMI and Swedish Match’s combined product portfolio, PMI reclassified certain of its own products previously reported under its combustible tobacco product category to the newly created smoke-free product category to better reflect the characteristics of these products. Where applicable, prior years' KPIs have been recalculated to reflect the reclassification on a comparative basis. Impacted metrics are marked with (†).

In 2023, we plan to evaluate our published aspirations to ensure they remain ambitious, reasonable, and achievable in the context of a dynamic and evolving smoke-free industry, and impacts of our recent acquisitions.

Note: In 2022, we strengthened our approach to monitoring the quality of life of people in our tobacco supply chain by introducing the Sustainable Tobacco Supply Chain (STSC) framework (read more in this section). Although it is still a requirement to monitor performance against our ALP Code for all contracted farms, we decided to shift from reporting sustainability progress on all farmers contracted by PMI’s suppliers or PMI leaf operations to farmers whose tobacco volumes are purchased by PMI and used in our products. [read more here (link to pg. 135 of the report)]. Our 2022 farm-level ALP monitoring data cover 19 out of the 20 countries from which we sourced in 2022 as Switzerland was not included in this data set.

Footnotes:

1 Data excludes Switzerland and China. For further details on how we calculate the proportion of farmers making a living income please see PMI's ESG KPI Protocol 2022.

Note: Our inventory of GHG emissions (scope 1, 2, and 3) in 2022 is subject to external verification by SGS (see the External Verification Statement for scope 1+2 [here],for scope 3 [here], and for a list of the individual metrics assured [here]).

Footnotes:

1 Intensity is measured per million cigarette equivalent sold.
2 Excludes electricity consumption from fleet.
3 Emissions from PMI-operated IQOS stores are partially excluded from scope 1+2 emissions, as de minimis. In 2022 a portion of PMI‘s retail stores (representing approx. 10% of total retail surface area) have been included in the scope 1+2 emissions.
4 2022 figure includes carbon offsetting certificates purchased in our factories in Czech Republic, Lithuania, Mexico, Portugal, Switzerland, and our 2022 figure includes carbon credit certificates retired in the name of our factories in Argentina, Brazil, Czech Republic, Greece, Indonesia (3 sites, differentiated between 6 reporting entities for certifications purposes), Lithuania, Mexico, Pakistan, Portugal, Senegal, and Switzerland—in total 13 manufacturing sites—as well as our Operations Center in Switzerland and our Mexico market.
5 For further details on Scope 3 calculation please refer to the PMI Value Chain Methodology. In 2022, we further improved our carbon footprint model and data accuracy; improvements relate to, for example, increased coverage of primary data collected from direct materials suppliers and integration of emissions related to fleet purchase. This lead to previous years’ being restated accordingly.

Note: Select 2022 metrics related to PMI's Monitoring, Verification and Reporting Framework for Leaf Curing Fuel and the Zero Deforation Manifesto are subject to limited PwC’s Assurance Report (read more here)
