Philip Moris International partners with local NGOs to fix many of the problems faced by the communities all the world over. In this way PMI has helped in nurturing societies and improving livelihoods.

Social Work

Manufacturers of Malboro clearly understand the effects of smoking. They know that smoking is injurious to health and can cause a great deal of diseases like cardio vascular disease, emphysema and lung cancer. To help smokers who are addicted, Malboro cigarettes are developed by using regulated tobacco. This ensures that the cigarettes have the feel and taste like conventional ones, but are not as harmful.

These are few of the ways that manufacturers of Malboro have projected themselves as a socially responsible company both locally and globally.
