DELIVERING A
SMOKE-FREE FUTURE
Philip Morris International (PMI) is a leading international tobacco company
working to deliver a smoke-free future and evolving its portfolio for the long
term to include products outside of the tobacco and nicotine sector.
To date, we are the only company within the traditional international tobacco
industry to have committed to phasing out cigarettes, encouraging adult
smokers who would otherwise continue to smoke to switch completely to
scientifically substantiated, better alternatives.

PMI’S STATEMENT
OF PURPOSE
"To deliver a smoke-free future by focusing its resources on developing,
scientifically substantiating and responsibly commercializing smoke-
free products that are better alternatives than smoking, with the aim of
completely replacing cigarettes as soon as possible."
"PMI believes that with the right regulatory encouragement and support
from civil society, cigarette sales can end within 10 to 15 years in many
countries."
" […] the Company has expanded its social, human, intellectual, and
manufactured capital in ways that allow it to go a step further, moving from a
value proposition centered on doing less harm toward one where it can seek
to have a net positive impact on society."

A COMPANY POWERED
BY SCIENCE
Since 2008, PMI has invested more than USD 10.5 billion to develop, scientifi-
cally substantiate and commercialize innovative smoke-free products for adults
who would otherwise continue to smoke, with the goal of completely ending the
sale of cigarettes. This includes the building of world-class scientific assessment
capabilities, notably in the areas of pre-clinical systems toxicology, clinical and
behavioral research, as well as post-market studies.

PMI supports regulations and commercialization that
discourage people from starting to smoke, encourage quitting
if they do smoke, and offer access to better alternatives if they
otherwise would not quit.
RESPONSIBLE
COMMERCIALIZATION
Globally, the commercialization of tobacco products is subject to extensive
rules and regulations—and rightly so. We support commonsense regulation
that dissuades people from starting to smoke and encourages cessation. And we
are clear that our smoke-free products are intended exclusively for adults who
would otherwise continue to smoke; never for youth or nonsmokers.
The PMI Marketing Code sets out clear global standards for our marketing and
sales practices across our product lines, including combustibles. We also have
instituted Good Conversion Practices, which govern the marketing and sale of
our smoke-free products.
10
INNOVATING FOR BETTER
At the core of PMI’s harm reduction strategy is the elimination of combustion.
The vast majority of harmful compounds found in cigarette smoke and
associated with smoking-related diseases are generated by combustion.
Products that eliminate combustion, such as e-cigarettes and heated tobacco
products, whilst not risk-free and providing nicotine which is addictive, are a
much better alternative to continued smoking.
11
Our vision for the wellness and healthcare business is
to develop best-in-class consumer health and inhaled
prescription products that will improve people’s lives
and address some of today’s significant unmet needs.
PMI announced in February 2021 its ambition to expand into wellness and
healthcare areas and, through its Vectura Fertin Pharma business, aims to
enhance life through the delivery of seamless health experiences.
This is built on two key growth areas: (1) wellness products, where PMI is
developing and looking to commercialize scientifically substantiated consumer
health products and solutions with the aim to improve people’s lives, and
(2) healthcare products, where it has already committed resources to its
development pipeline of over-the-counter and prescription products.
12
Our sustainability strategy
is our corporate strategy.
OUR SUSTAINABILITY.
CHAMPIONING BETTER
Environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) practices are at the
core of PMI’s transformation, and we strive to continuously improve our
performance in these areas as we accelerate our progress toward delivering a
smoke-free future.
13
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK
PMI sees sustainability as a fundamental opportunity for innovation, growth, and
purpose-led, impact-driven, long-term value creation. Accordingly, PMI works
hard to integrate sustainability into every aspect of its business and activities.
PMI's strategy crystallizes the notion of two distinct forms of social and
environmental impacts—those generated by its products (what it produces) and
those generated by its business operations (how it produces).
This approach allows PMI to appropriately highlight that, consistent with its
sustainability materiality analysis results, addressing the social impacts generated
by its products is the core of its strategy.

CREATING AN INCLUSIVE
WORKPLACE
We consider diversity, equity, and inclusion essential to creating an environment
in which our employees across the globe can contribute their best and drive the
innovation and consumer-centricity needed to achieve our vision of a smoke-
free future.
Achieving gender balance and leveraging the full talents of both women and
men at all levels of the company is a top priority. Currently, women make up
42 percent of our workforce, reaching in May 2022 our company-wide target
of ensuring 40% female representation in managerial roles. In recognition
of our commitment to support gender equality through policy development,
representation, and transparency, in 2023 we were listed in the Bloomberg
Gender-Equality Index (GEI) for the third year in a row.
A fair and inclusive workplace also means equal salary for equal work. We
have reinforced our commitment to closing our gender gap by undergoing an
independent equal pay certification developed by the independent EQUAL-
SALARY Foundation. We are proud to be the first multinational company
to have received global EQUAL-SALARY certification in 2019, which was
recertified in 2022.
