Progress report issued on PMI’s Agricultural Labor Practices program

Philip Morris International has issued its first report on its Agricultural Labor Practices (ALP) program, which was launched in May last year.

The ALP program seeks progressively to eliminate child labor and other labor abuses on farms PMI sources tobacco from.

“We are pleased to share the progress we have made” said Martin King, senior vice president operations, “and will continue to implement the ALP program in a transparent manner, sharing results and outcomes.”
