Philip Morris International

"Philip Morris International has set a net zero target of 2050, as included in their corporate policy. Net Zero Tracker
They aim to achieve carbon neutrality for their direct operations (scope 1 and 2 emissions) by 2030, and for their entire value chain (scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions) by 2050. Net Zero Tracker
An interesting fact about their environmental policy is that their targets for greenhouse gas emissions from company operations are consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C, making it a 1.5C Science Based Target. Net Zero Tracker

Sector Benchmark

Note: Latest GHG and revenue data (based on tradingview.com) are used to calculate GHG emissions intensity by sector. The color scale of each bubble depends on the GHG intensity (GHG emissions per 1 million USD revenue). Sectors follow the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) that organize companies based on their primary business activities. The 11 sectors are : Information Technology, Health Care, Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services, Industrials, Consumer Staples, Energy, Utilities, Real Estate, and Materials.

Philip Morris International belongs to the sector Consumer Staples.
