Values

Four values define our company and culture

Excellence

We can only change patient’s lives when we perform at our best together. This happens when we focus on what matters, agree who does what and measure our outcomes.

Courage

Breakthroughs start by challenging convention, especially in the face of uncertainty or adversity. This happens when we think big, speak up and are decisive.

Equity

We believe that every person deserves to be seen, heard and cared for. This happens when we are inclusive, act with integrity and reduce health care disparities.

Joy

We give ourselves to our work, but it also gives to us. We find joy when we take pride, recognize one another and have fun.

Approach to ESG

Connecting our purpose, strategy and ESG

 

Our new approach to ESG helps us to advance on our purpose, drive positive impact relevant to the breakthroughs we aim to deliver, demonstrate the value they bring to patients and other stakeholders and govern our operations and impact on society.

Pfizer has consistently supported and prioritized its ESG-related programs and commitments. 2020 marked an important inflection point when it comes to the role of corporations in society, and I am very proud of the ways in which Pfizer stepped up to lead.”

A closer look: ESG at Pfizer

Environment

Building on our commitment to environmental impact reduction through successful completion of our 2012 – 2020 Greenhouse Gas, waste and water withdrawal reduction goals, we are renewing our commitment to ambitious climate action. Our goal is to become carbon neutral across our internal operations by 2030 and catalyze similar reductions throughout our value chain, as recognized by the Science Based Target Initiative. We further aim to reduce the environmental impact of our medicines throughout the product lifecycle through the development of sustainability criteria to measure our progress.

 

Social

As the COVID-19 pandemic magnifies disparities for underserved communities, Pfizer is working to address the complex issues we face as a global society and create a healthier, more equitable world for all. Through our partnerships and programs, we are seeking to expand affordable access to our breakthrough medicines and vaccines, particularly among underserved communities. As we look to protect all people from the burden of infectious and other diseases, we are also focused on creating opportunities to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion across our workforce and those with whom we do business.

 

Governance

As we work to meet patient and societal needs, we are committed to acting ethically, thoughtfully and responsibly and continually prioritizing safety and transparency in all that we do.  Our compliance program supports proactive business-led quality and compliance governance built around elements of effective risk management. The Board of Directors is critical to our governance by representing shareholders’ interests and seeking to enhance long-term shareholder value. The Board is composed of a majority of independent Directors, reflecting diversity with respect to gender, age, race, ethnicity, background, professional experience and perspectives.
