Philip Morris Hungary

Philip Morris International (PMI) is leading a transformation in the tobacco industry to create a smoke-free future, and transforming internally, becoming an innovation-driven technology company. It is the biggest shift in PMI’s history.

As we are transforming, we need to put increased emphasis on sustainability which, for PMI, means creating long‑term value while minimizing the negative externalities associated with our operation. PMI has been improving its performance in a number of environmental, social, and governance areas, and demonstrates leadership in research and development to reduce and address health and environment related harms, associated with smoking. PMI is building its future on new ways of smoke-free nicotine delivery, which are not risk-free, but potentially much better choice than continuing to use traditional tobacco products.

Philip Morris Hungary has been present in Hungary for 30 years as affiliate of PMI, and with a net revenue of almost HUF 210 billion, it is Hungary’s 55. largest company. PMI’s global commitments serve as a compass for the operation in Hungary, of course, and our goal is to achieve further results on the way to a “Smoke-free Hungary”.

Philip Morris Hungary is pleased to be a member and principal supporter of HBLF, Hungary’s outstanding CSR organization, as of 2021.
