Sustainability
The health impact of cigarette smoking is the most significant and pressing negative externality our strategy aims to address. Lessening this impact is the most valuable societal contribution we can make and is the cornerstone of PMI’s purpose and business strategy.
Addressing this critical issue requires a three-pronged approach:
- Maximize the benefits of smoke-free products
- Purposefully phase out cigarettes
- Seek net positive impact in wellness and healthcare.

In the Nordics we focus on the areas where we can have the biggest impact locally, such on health, waste, workplace and illicit trade. Through the thorough work in our global operation, we also ensure full focus on improving the quality of life of people in our supply chain and actions to tackle climate change and nature on a global level. As we believe business can and must contribute to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGSs), we have linked each of our strategies to the corresponding SDG.
The debate on plastics in Nature is something we take seriously. As two examples, we can mention that in Sweden we have a large campaign to gather used snus cans, and in Norway we work with different organizations to raise awareness of waste and also to do cleaning events both alone and with business partners.
