The Top Employer Institute recognized on March 12 Philip Morris International Inc. as a "Top Employer Europe 2014" citing the company's excellent working environment and exceptional development opportunities offered to its employees. The "Top Employer" certification is awarded annually following an assessment of a company's human resources practices by the Institute and validation of that assessment by auditing company Grant Thornton.  

"Our people are at the heart of our success and are what make Philip Morris International a great place to work. This is why we continuously invest in their development, offer strong reward and recognition programs, and provide unique, challenging career opportunities," said Victoria Shevchuk, Vice President Human Resources EU for PMI. "We are honored to be recognized as a top employer and will maintain our focus on fostering an environment that allows employees to develop and grow in a fast-paced and international workplace."

This certification underscores PMI's track record as an employer in Europe, where PMI's affiliates in Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK, also ranked among the best employers locally.

PMI employs over 91,000 people worldwide, of which approximately 15,000 are based in Europe. PMI's global presence provides employees with the opportunity to work in a diverse environment and to work internationally as part of its people development program.
