Business MInutes

Reinforcing its commitment to sustainable logistics, Philip Morris International’s (PMI) affiliate, IPM India, has adopted energy efficiency practices for optimization of sustainable logistics network. Over the last year the organization’s initiatives have helped introduce EV & CNG vehicles and shifted 70% of its sourcing for various non-tobacco materials from air freight to either sea or land, resulting in 684 tonnes of CO2 reduction by FY 2025. 


Commenting on the expansion, Navaneel Kar, Managing Director, IPM India, said, “Sustainability and business performance are fully interrelated and mutually reinforcing. The expansion of sustainability logistics network aligns with our core values. We take immense pride in serving as an agent of change and advocate of positive values. Sustainability is more than just a means to minimize negative externalities and mitigate risks while maximizing operational efficiency and resource optimization. As an organization, we see this as a fundamental opportunity for innovation, growth, and purpose-led, impact-driven, long-term value creation. Accordingly, we work hard to integrate it into every aspect of our business. With each new carbon-neutral initiative, we move a step closer to realizing our goal—to transition toward a carbon-neutral model."


Divya Vanshika, Head of Operations, IPM India said, “We firmly believe that investing in sustainability logistics network will have a positive impact on both the long-term resilience of our business and the well-being of society.
