Philip Morris International

Philip Morris International, headquartered in the US, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4.76 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This includes about 286.4 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, approximately 36 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and around 4.44 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions.

The tobacco products company has set ambitious climate commitments validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Philip Morris International aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2040, based on a 2019 baseline. This long-term target involves a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 2040 from the same baseline year.

For its near-term targets, Philip Morris International commits to:

• A 50% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030 from a 2019 base year.
• A 27.5% absolute reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions (industrial) by 2030 from a 2019 base year.
• A 33.3% absolute reduction in Scope 3 FLAG (Forest, Land and Agriculture) GHG emissions by 2030 from a 2019 base year.
• Ensure that 15% of its suppliers by spend covering purchased goods and services will have science-based targets by 2025.
• Achieve carbon neutrality in its direct operations (Scope 1 and 2) by 2025.

In 2023, the company reported a 36% decrease in Scope 1+2 emissions and a 13% decrease in net Scope 1+2+3 emissions compared to its 2019 baseline, indicating it is on track to meet its carbon neutrality and net-zero goals.
