Business Wire
Altria Group, Inc. (“Altria”) (NYSE:MO) today announces that it
has been recognized as a member of CDP’s 2021 Supplier Engagement
Leaderboard for climate change, highlighting Altria’s and its
subsidiaries’ work in sustainable supply chain management. Its
Supplier Engagement Rating (SER) positions it in the top 8 percent
of companies who disclosed to CDP’s full climate questionnaire.
The SER provides a rating for how effectively companies are
engaging their suppliers on climate change. CDP assesses
performance on supplier engagement using a company’s response to
selected questions on governance, targets, scope 3 emissions, and
value chain engagement in the CDP climate change questionnaire.
“We believe Altria’s and our subsidiaries’ strong, sustainable
partnerships with our supplier base and trade partners are critical
to our future success and the achievement of Altria's Vision,” said
Sal Mancuso, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer. “We
are committed to driving sustainability and diversity through the
value chain and we welcome the opportunity to engage further with
our suppliers on environmental sustainability as a CDP supply chain
member.”
Last year, Altria was recognized for a second consecutive year
with a double ‘A’ rating for tackling climate change and protecting
water security by CDP, a non-profit that runs a global disclosure
system on managing environmental impact. CDP’s A List distinguishes
companies for leadership on transparency and action on key
environmental issues.
In 2020, Altria announced its long-term 2030 targets from a 2017
baseline to:
- Reduce absolute Scope 1 & Scope 2 emissions by 55%
- Reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions by 18%
- Achieve 100% renewable electricity
- Reduce waste sent to landfill by 25%
- Achieve 100% water neutrality each year
Altria has made a strong commitment to reducing its
environmental impact, both in aligning operational and value chain
business practices with science-based methodology to limit the
damaging impacts of climate change and in reducing the
environmental impact of using its companies’ products.
Aligned with Altria’s disclosure on climate-related risks and
opportunities in CDP Climate Change, last year, Altria also
published its first standalone Task Force on Climate-related
Financial Disclosures (TCFD) report. The TCFD was formed by the
Financial Stability Board in 2015 to help companies provide
decision-useful information about their climate-related risks and
opportunities to investors. Altria is proud to be the first U.S
tobacco company to join more than 2,700 supporters of the TCFD.
