Philip Morris International (PMI) has been certified as a Global Top Employer by the Top Employers Institute for the tenth year in a row.

The Top Employer certification is the result of an independent assessment. PMI affiliates were also recognised as leading employers in 32 countries across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia/Pacific.

The Top Employers Institute programme certifies organisations based on the participation and results of their HR Best Practices Survey. This survey covers six HR domains featuring 20 topics, including People Strategy, Work Environment, Learning, Diversity & Inclusion, Purpose & Values and Wellbeing.

Top Employers Institute CEO Adrian Seligman commented: “Achieving a Country Top Employer Certification for 2026 reflects PMI’s dedication to building an outstanding workplace that enables sustained business performance.

“Their strong alignment between people strategy and organisational goals, combined with a commitment to continuous improvement, demonstrates the impact of their transformative practices. We are proud to recognise PMI for their meaningful contribution to a better world of work.”

The award underlines PMI’s goal to be regarded as an employer of choice, focused on meeting the evolving needs of a multi-generational global workforce.

“PMI is honoured to be recognised as a Top Employer for ten consecutive years, an achievement that underscores the quality and consistency of our people practices on a global stage,” noted PMI Group Chief People & Culture Officer Fred Patitucci.

“We strive to create an environment where everyone feels empowered to grow, contribute, and thrive. This milestone reflects the passion and dedication of our teams worldwide.
