The remuneration system implemented by the Company is based on the periodic evaluation results of the employee’s performance. We adjust remuneration based on employee performance and the applicable wage standards. The Company ensures that the amount of wages received by employees is equal and fair.
Commitment to equality in providing fair remuneration to every employee is evidenced by obtaining the global EQUAL-SALARY certification since 2018. This certificate is given to our parent company where the Company is one of the entities. This certificate verifies that the remuneration at Sampoerna is not differentiated by gender.
In the monitoring conducted in 2022, The Company recorded no findings and obtained green report status.
The certification by the independent EQUAL-SALARY Foundation is an important building block on the road to creating a more inclusive, gender-balanced workplace.
The EQUAL-SALARY Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization based in Switzerland. The EQUAL-SALARY Certification verifies that organizations have sustainable policies and practices to ensure that they pay their male and female employee equally for equal work.
Equal pay in practice
Switzerland
PMI was the first international company to obtain the EQUAL-SALARY label in Switzerland in 2015. In doing so, we set ourselves apart as a top employer where principles of fairness, diversity, and inclusion are the foundation for our success.
Japan
In Japan, our EQUAL-SALARY experience was one of many “firsts”: Philip Morris Japan (PMJ) was the first company outside of Switzerland to obtain EQUAL-SALARY Certification in November 2016, and by applying the Foundation’s rigorous equal-pay methodology in the country, PMI helped bring their work to an international level, encouraging other companies to follow suit.

At Sampoerna, we took part in the assessment and proudly obtained the EQUAL-SALARY Certification in March 2019.

The Global EQUAL-SALARY Certification verifies that PMI pays men and women everywhere we operate worldwide equally for equal work. We are proud to be the first company to receive this global certification in 2019.
