Philip Morris International (PMI) has been recognized among Forbes’ top five Net Zero Leaders for 20251 for the third consecutive year, ranking fourth in the prestigious list.
The accolade reflects PMI’s ongoing commitment to climate action and sustainable business practices, built on years of focused efforts across our global operations.
What sets this recognition apart is how it highlights our holistic approach: Integrating environmental stewardship with business transformation.
Decarbonization at PMI is not an add-on or side project; it lies at the core of how we build operational resilience, drive innovation, and create long-term value.
Dual impact
From investing in renewable energy to optimizing supply chains, PMI’s sustainability initiatives deliver a dual impact: Reducing our environmental footprint while strengthening competitive positioning.
This balance of purpose and performance is a clear example of what sustainable business leadership looks like in practice.
Forbes’ Net Zero Leaders list is based on real, measurable progress, assessing companies on governance, strategy, metrics, financial strength, and transparency of non-financial reporting.
PMI’s continued presence in the top five underlines our consistent and rigorous approach to reducing emissions and our environmental footprint.
Our decarbonization efforts aren’t separate from our strategy, they’re central to building operational resilience, driving innovation, and creating long-term value.”
Foundations of future progress
But leadership is more than a strategy; it’s the day-to-day commitment of PMI’s Operations teams that turns ambition into action.
“Our sustainability strategy remains deeply integrated with our business transformation,” explained Jennifer Motles, PMI’s Chief Sustainability Officer.
“It is a catalyst for creating long-term value. Initiatives such as our investment in renewable energy and supply chain optimization are grounded in data, transparency, and an ambition to strengthen both our environmental performance and our competitive position.”
As we continue on our journey toward a smoke-free future, these sustainability efforts remain a key pillar of PMI’s ambitions moving forward.
Supported by high-quality data and transparent reporting, PMI’s decarbonization goals lay a strong foundation for lasting success, delivering value not only to our company—but also to society and the planet.
