Philip Morris uses as a parameter the guidelines of the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) standard, which consists of adopting actions aimed at the sustainable use of water in the manufacturing process. One of the developments in 2019 was the update of the AWS standard, with Philip Morris Brasil being the first company in the country certified in the 2.0 standard of the norm.
Certification in the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) standard consists of adopting actions that involve the sustainable use of water in the manufacturing process and engagement with the value chain and with the community where the company's operation is based. It is important to note that in 2019 there was an update of the standard and Philip Morris Brasil is the first company in the country certified in standard 2.0 of the norm.
Bearing in mind the learning process obtained in recent years in relation to the standard, we will maintain the schedule initially planned for evolution in certification levels, periodically evaluating the existing opportunities on each of the fronts mentioned above and taking into account the requirements established by the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS).
The entire certification process is conducted through an independent and fully qualified audit in the guidelines established by the standard. Through the periodic reports issued by the audit responsible for the process, we will monitor our progress within the scope of this goal.
