In any business, it’s important to have a choice of quality suppliers. In our business, we believe that working with a diverse range of suppliers helps infuse our company with innovation. We welcome new ideas, energy and the spirit of entrepreneurship to reach our goals, and often find this energy in minority-owned and women-owned business partners.
As the largest producer of cigarettes in the United States, our materials and services requirements are substantial. We actively encourage participation by minority-owned and women-owned businesses, as key providers or as secondary providers of materials and services.
We have a reputation for top-quality products and this requires supplier commitment to high-quality standards for everything we purchase.
Therefore, PM USA gives qualified diverse suppliers an equal opportunity to work with them regardless of race, national origin or gender and has a strong record of advancing its business with diverse suppliers.
