Our 2025 Roadmap goal
see our full 2025 roadmapPRESERVE NATURE
Promote biodiversity, address critical water challenges, ensure no conversion of natural ecosystems, and halt deforestation in both our tobacco and pulp and paper supply chains.
Key performance indicators to track our progress
In 2023, we achieved 94 percent of tobacco purchased at no risk of net deforestation of managed natural forest and no conversion of natural ecosystems, and 95 percent of paper, board, and pulp-based supplies purchased at no risk of gross deforestation of primary and protected forests.* Our water stewardship initiatives have contributed to optimizing a total of 8.1 million cubic meters of water in our tobacco-growing areas since 2019, putting us well on track to achieving our aspiration to optimize 25 million cubic meters of water by 2033.**
