Company
Honored in Four Categories for its Executive Leadership and Equal
Pay Practices
Philip Morris International Inc. (PMI) (NYSE: PM) announced
today that it has earned four prestigious honors in the 2019 Golden
Bridge Business and Innovation Awards®, the world’s premier
“Business Awards” program honoring achievements in every industry
around the world. More than 150 judges from a broad spectrum of
industries participated in the 11th annual awards with their
average scores determining the winners.
PMI received three Gold awards in the Human Resources Executive
of the Year (Charles Bendotti, SVP of People & Culture);
Milestone of The Year, Other (PMI’s global EQUAL-SALARY
certification); and Achievement of the Year, Corporate
Communications (PMI’s leadership in equal pay and gender balance)
categories. PMI’s COO Jacek Olczak was also named Silver winner in
the Maverick of the Year category. All four awards demonstrate the
company’s drive and progression in achieving its vision of a
smoke-free future.
“We are proud of the steps PMI is taking to unsmoke the world
and honored that the Golden Bridge Awards and its panel of external
judges have recognized this work as well,” said Marian Salzman, SVP
global communications, PMI. “Merits like these are a testament to
the considerable progress we are making change our company from the
inside out, and to our positive contributions to civil society
today.”
The awards showcase PMI’s progress toward a smoke-free future; a
future without combustible cigarettes. To achieve this, PMI is
undergoing the largest transformation in its history, both
internally and externally, which has the potential to improve
public health and provide millions of adult smokers who would
otherwise continue smoking with alternatives that are a better
choice than continuing to smoke.
In addition to evolving its product, PMI is transforming its
full value chain and placing an emphasis in fostering an inclusive
and diverse workplace; and, it’s these internal efforts that have
been exceptionally recognized by the Golden Bridge Business and
Innovation Awards. In March of this year, PMI became the first
multinational company to be certified globally for equal pay by the
independent third-party EQUAL-SALARY Foundation. The company’s
global EQUAL-SALARY certification confirms its commitment to
equality and is an important building block on the road to creating
an inclusive, gender-balanced workplace.
