Philip Morris (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (PMM) has been recognized as a Top Employer in Malaysia and the Asia Pacific region for the second year in a row by the Top Employers Institute.
PMM Managing Director Naeem Khan says: “These recognitions are testaments to our amazing people at PMM, whose resilience have brought us closer to the smoke-free future we envisioned for Malaysia despite a turbulent year. Undeterred by new challenges presented by the global pandemic, they continue to create positive impacts in the lives of the millions of adult smokers in Malaysia, as well as their families and the communities. The hard work and commitment displayed were undoubtedly the key to achieving our shared vision of a smoke-free future.
“Everyone at PMM has an equal share in building a workplace that is collaborative and inclusive where all opinions are valued, and everyone has the same access to tools and opportunities which would help them excel in their professional career. We are the champion of a people-first culture and we attribute that to the recognition as the employer of choice in Malaysia and the Asia Pacific region.”
Top Employers Institute CEO David Plink says: “Despite the challenging year we have experienced (which has certainly made an impact on organisations around the globe), Philip Morris Malaysia has continued to demonstrate the power of putting their people first in the workplace. We are proud to make this year’s announcement and congratulate the organisations who have been certified in Asia Pacific through the Top Employers Institute programme.”

Philip Morris International:
Delivering a Smoke-Free Future Philip Morris International (PMI) is leading a transformation in the tobacco industry to create a smokefree future and ultimately replace cigarettes with smoke-free products to the benefit of adults who would otherwise continue to smoke, society, the company and its shareholders. PMI is a leading international tobacco company engaged in the manufacture and sale of cigarettes, as well as smoke-free products, associated electronic devices and accessories, and other nicotine-containing products in markets outside the U.S. In addition, PMI ships versions of its IQOS Platform 1 device and consumables to Altria Group, Inc. for sale under license in the U.S., where these products have received marketing authorizations from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the premarket tobacco product application (PMTA) pathway; the FDA has also authorized the marketing of a version of IQOS and its consumables as a Modified Risk Tobacco Product (MRTP), finding that an exposure modification order for these products is appropriate to promote the public health. PMI is building a future on a new category of smoke-free products that, while not risk-free, are a much better choice than continuing to smoke. Through multidisciplinary capabilities in product development, state-of-the-art facilities and scientific substantiation, PMI aims to ensure that its smoke-free products meet adult consumer preferences and rigorous regulatory requirements. PMI's smoke-free product portfolio includes heat-not-burn and nicotine-containing vapor products. As of December 31, 2020, IQOS is available for sale in 64 markets in key cities or nationwide, and PMI estimates that approximately 12.7 million adults around the world have already switched to IQOS and stopped smoking.
