Altria Snapshot
It’s an exciting and dynamic time for our company. As the leader in an evolving industry, we have the duty and the opportunity to shape a better future for adult tobacco consumers, our employees and shareholders.
To do so, we need clarity of purpose and a Vision for where we’re headed. As we navigate uncertainty and change, we’ll embrace this challenge and remain steadfast in our Vision while being flexible in how we get there. This is our path forward.
Our companies have a strong legacy of leadership in traditional tobacco categories, with profitable premium products and iconic brands. And while we will continue to lead in traditional tobacco categories, we recognize that consumer preferences are changing.
Today over 20 million U.S. adult smokers seek less harmful alternatives to cigarettes. This is a pivotal moment. With adult smoker demand for smoke-free alternatives, innovation and an appropriate regulatory framework, we have the opportunity to make more progress on harm reduction in the next 10 years than we have in the past 50 years. In fact, our future success depends on it. Over the next 10 years, we will invest in our business and our people to transform Altria and our industry.
