Diversity & Inclusion

Diversity doesn’t live in any one place at Altria

It takes all of us, regardless of our level, tenure, or department, to reach our true goal – an inclusive work environment that leverages the best each of us has to offer.  We accomplish this with our people and our communities.

The commitment to diversity is supported by all levels within the Altria family of companies. Additionally, an Executive Diversity Council, led by our CEO, made up of rotating employees from differing areas and levels provides strategic direction and leadership to promote an inclusive workplace. This work is supported by inclusive training and tools that are made available to all Altria employees.

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are another component of our diversity and inclusion strategy. They provide employees with professional development, promote cultural awareness, and support our community engagement efforts. In the university environment, ERGs might compare to multi-cultural student organizations on campus. Our ERGs include:

At the Altria family of companies, we appreciate the men and women of the Armed Forces and have many employees who have served our country.

“Any leader has to have integrity whether you’re a squad leader in the military or a company leader with Altria.” –Greg, Territory Sales Manager

Responsibility

Responsibility is one job we all share

Our Communities:

We invest in non-profits to help make our communities stronger. During the last 10 years, we have given 1 billion in cash and other contributions to hundreds of non-profit organizations. In 2014, employees at Altria companies volunteered more than 50,000 hours in their communities. Altria coordinates company-sponsored volunteer activities in communities where we live and work. In 2014, our volunteer challenge program nearly doubled employee participation in company-sponsored events.

Our Environment:

We believe it’s important to protect natural resources and reduce our environmental impact. For example, since 2002, PM USA has collaborated with Keep America Beautiful to provide funds to research, develop and launch the Cigarette Litter Prevention Program (CLPP).

Our Workplace:

We view each of our employees as leaders. We strive each day to be innovative, focused, disciplined, and responsible in a regulated environment. For example, we deny all requests to use or display our companies’ tobacco brands in movies, television shows and other public entertainment media.
