Philip Morris International’s 2025 Sustainability Materiality Report maintains focus on consumers and end-users

The insights will inform PMI’s sustainability strategy for 2030+ to position our business for enduring success as we build toward achieving our smoke-free ambitions. 

Philip Morris International’s 2025 Sustainability Materiality Report presents the results of our latest global sustainability materiality assessment (SMA). 

Following the principles of double materiality, the report outlines the key sustainability topics identified, along with their associated impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs), in line with the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).  

Consumers and end-users remain our core priority, with a focus on product health impact and ensuring responsible marketing and sales. 

Building a sustainable future 

“The insights gained through our sustainability materiality assessment are more than just datapoints, they are the bedrock on which our 2030+ sustainability strategy is being built,” said Jennifer Motles, Chief Sustainability Officer at PMI.  

“By placing sustainability at the core of our strategy, we are strengthening our capacity to anticipate change, seize new opportunities, and future-proof our business for enduring success.”

The assessment findings informed the development of six strategic priorities for PMI, which make up our new Sustainability Framework.  

This Framework organizes topics distinguishing between product and operations—i.e. “what” we create and “how” we create—and is further divided into environmental and social categories: 

    (Social) 
    - Consumers: Addressing product health impacts, providing transparent information, expanding access to smoke-free alternatives for legal-age adults, ensuring responsible marketing and sales, and combating illicit tobacco trade. 


    (Environmental) 
    - Circularity: Advancing a circular model focused on waste reduction, resource efficiency, product durability, and responsible disposal and recovery. 

    (Social)

    - Workforce: Fostering a safe, collaborative, and empowering workplace, with a focus on training, well-being, and fair opportunity.

    - Workers in the Value Chain: Promoting fair treatment, ethical labor practices, and respect for human rights across the value chain. 

     

    (Environmental)

    - Climate: Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving energy efficiency, adopting renewable energy, and adapting to climate-related risks. 

    - Nature: Protecting ecosystems, managing dependencies on natural habitats, and practicing responsible water stewardship.

    We are committed to transparency and disclosure, and we show the progress we are making toward a world without cigarettes through our reporting.

    Our strategic priorities

    We have organized our six strategic priorities based on their connection with our products (or WHAT we produce) or with our operations (or HOW we produce them), and whether they are social or environmental in essence.
