Our Strategy for Growth

Altria Group oversees its companies to enhance shareholder value by focusing on growth, people and a commitment to responsibility.

The story of our family of companies is one of evolution and growth, funded by profitable businesses and sound financial management. Much of our growth has come through acquisitions, although much has also come through the creative development of brand franchises by our operating companies. These both remain the pathways for our future – organic growth and growth through acquisition.

In recent years our structure has evolved with the Kraft Foods IPO and the creation of SABMiller, of which we are the largest shareholder. These developments, we believe, are good for both the companies concerned and for their respective shareholders.

As we look to the future, we see more change, more growth, and more development of our companies’ employees, our operating companies, and their brands. We also see further development of Altria companies’ commitment to responsibility, as we learn more about the evolving societal expectations of each of our companies, and of the parent that oversees them. Aiming higher, reaching further, innovating and growing. These are the qualities of the Altria family of companies.
