Diversity and inclusion is a hallmark of Altria’s mission and values as a company. We value and celebrate the contributions our diverse employees make to

our businesses and in the communities where we live and work.

At Altria, we believe in the intrinsic worth and unique potential of every

individual in our workforce and value their differing backgrounds, cultures,

beliefs and experiences. Diversity is what makes our perspective so

broad—and our success so robust. Inclusion is demonstrated through the

intentional behaviors that make each of us feel welcome and valued. It is

how we behave.

Altria and its family of companies have a long history of working with

non-profit and charitable organizations that enrich and improve the

communities where our employees live and work. In the last 15 years,

Altria’s companies have contributed close to $70 million to charitable and civic organizations that support diverse communities, our military

and veterans, and also promote valuing our differences and equality.

“We all benefit by having

different perspectives included and heard. To be

heard, you first need a seat at the table and you have to

have others who are willing to lift up your voice.”

Howard Willard, Altria Chairman and CEO

Our Heritage We are proud of our longstanding partnerships

diversity, equity and inclusion. For nearly

numerous efforts to champion equality for and

conduct business with women and minorities.

This selection of diversity milestones highlight

the story of who we are and what we stand for

at Altria. The timeline begins in the early 1930s

— long before civil rights became the law of the

land. Our operating companies’ commitment

spans many decades and continues today.

Altria Promotes Supplier Diversity & Inclusion Altria’s companies have a long history of working with diverse suppliers. To be an industry leader, we

must have a supplier base that reflects our adult consumers, culture and communities. Today, our

Supplier Diversity & Inclusion Program contributes to our success by leveraging women, minority, veteran

and LGBTQ businesses to help generate new ideas and different perspectives. The program includes

sponsorship of events and educational programs for diverse businesses; sets long-term utilization and

spending goals; and leverages procurement tools and resources to promote the use of diverse suppliers.

In recognition of our work on supplier diversity issues, Altria recently received the following awards:

• OMNIKAL, formerly DiversityBusiness.com, ranked Altria #14 on the America’s Top 50 Inclusion

the way for corporate America’s support of community banks that are majority owned by women and

minorities. In 1981, Philip Morris USA formally established a Minority Business Development Program,

Our Supplier Diversity & Inclusion Program actively promotes the use of diverse suppliers, recognizes

changing demographics, and is seamlessly integrated into the procurement process for all of Altria’s

companies. Specifically, employees who are involved in procurement decisions for goods and services

are expected to seek out and use qualified diverse suppliers. In 2017, Altria’s Procurement Department

began executing a multi-year strategy to expand the pool of diverse suppliers to include more veteran

and LGBTQ businesses, integrate sustainable supplier D&I tools into our existing procurement processes,

and educate and engage with our current suppliers to increase diverse spend and utilization.

Supplier D&I Champions To help propel and sustain this strategy, the Supplier Diversity & Inclusion Program reinvigorated

its champion network. Each department and operating company leader has selected “Supplier D&I

Champions” to support them in setting a long-term utilization target for diverse suppliers.

In collaboration with the Procurement Department and the champion, each department sets

supplier diversity spending and utilization goals. On a quarterly basis, we report enterprise-wide

and departmental spend and utilization against established goals. As part of our commitment to

transparency, year-end results are included in Altria’s annual Corporate Responsibility Report, which is

publicly available on our corporate website. The program tracks both our spend with diverse suppliers

as well as our suppliers’ spend with diverse partners.

Another integral component of our Supplier Diversity & Inclusion Program is our partnership with

outside organizations devoted to supplier diversity and inclusion. For many years, we have supported

several organizations, including the National Minority Supplier Development Council and the Women’s

Business Enterprise National Council, to increase business opportunities for their members. We

enthusiastically expanded our support in 2017 as a corporate sponsor of the National LGBT Chamber

of Commerce. Our work with these organizations help us benchmark our Supplier Diversity & Inclusion

Program and also share best practices with other companies who are committed to increasing the

diversity of their supplier base.

Employee Resource Groups In 2013, Altria authorized the creation of employee resource groups (ERGs) and now has nine groups

celebrating the diversity of the company’s employees. ERGs bring together groups of employees with

shared characteristics or life experiences to help the company benefit from our diversity and become

more inclusive. Through our ERGs, we are able to better understand and connect with suppliers, our

adult consumers and each other. Over 2,300 employees participate in one or more of our nine ERGs:

East (Asian American Network), Mosaic (LGBTQ Network), Salute (Military Network), Sí! (Hispanic

Network), Spring (Young Professionals Network), UNIFI (Black Network), Women in Manufacturing,

Women in Sales and the Women’s Network.

These ERGs take an active role in shaping the culture and conversation within the Altria family of

companies.

D&I Matters. We’re Leading the Charge Altria’s commitment to diversity and inclusion creates a work

environment where employees are encouraged to contribute innovative

ideas, seek challenges and assume leadership—while focusing on

meeting and exceeding business and personal objectives. Simply put,

Altria’s leaders know diversity and inclusion makes good business sense

and is the right thing to do. This approach is woven through actions and

strategies that recognize, accept and support all employees as well as

enrich the communities where our employees live and work.

Like other companies, we continue to enhance our diversity and

inclusion efforts for all diverse employees because we understand that

it is important for our company to make progress over the long term. In 2016, we set a four-year

aspiration to have the executive ranks (vice president and higher) be comprised of 20% women

and 20% of people of color by 2020. As of the fourth quarter of 2018, 21% of our executive ranks

are women and 15% are people of color. For our management ranks, 37% are women and 24% are

people of color.
