DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
AS DIVERSE AS THE PATIENTS AND COMMUNITIES WE SERVE
OUR PURPOSE AT PFIZER IS CLEAR: ACHIEVING BREAKTHROUGHS THAT CHANGE PATIENTS’ LIVES.
We realize that means not just attracting the best and brightest talent. But also ensuring our colleagues can thrive in an environment and culture where we champion Diversity and Inclusion every day, around the world
EQUITY RUNS THROUGH EVERYTHING WE DO.
We want all patients to have equal access to healthcare, and accessible and affordable drugs. Within our business, we believe everyone deserves to be seen, heard and respected for who they are.
That’s why we focus and invest in making Pfizer an amazing workplace for all. Our Diversity & Inclusion Leads around the world partner with Business Leaders to make sure our approach and processes reflect our key values.
BUT THIS ISN’T JUST ABOUT WHAT WE DO AS A BUSINESS:
It’s about who we are. We want all our colleagues to develop, grow, and succeed. We commit to making that happen, and to sharing and celebrating our successes as we bring together people from all backgrounds, geographies and perspectives.
OPPORTUNITY PARITY
Pfizer’s Opportunity Parity strategy represents our commitment to increase diversity. In 2019, we announced representation goals, by 2025, of 47% for women (globally) and 32% minorities (US) for Vice President (VP) roles and above.
- Representation of women at the VP level and above in 2020 was 38% globally (up 5% from 2019).
- Representation of minorities in the U.S. at the VP level and above in 2020 was 22% (up 2% from 2019).
EEO1 REPORT DISCLOSURE
Pfizer is publicly disclosing its EEO-1 Reports in the interest of serving greater transparency and will disclose future EEO-1 Reports, as they are filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The broad job categories by which the data is portrayed are dictated by EEOC requirements and do not necessarily match the job categories by which Pfizer evaluates its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) data. (Please refer to “Appendix E. Description of job Categories” at https://eeocdata.org/EEO1/support/instructionbooklet for a description of each of the EEOC’s job categories.) Thus, meaningful comparisons between EEO-1 Report data and other descriptions of Pfizer’s DEI statistics and disclosures may not be possible.
We remain fully committed to our DEI efforts, our opportunity parity goals and our ongoing efforts to make Pfizer a great place to work for all. For a further discussion of Pfizer’s Human Capital efforts, including DEI efforts, please refer to the “Human Capital” section of the ESG report found at https://www.pfizer.com/sites/default/files/investors/financial_reports/annual_reports/2021/files/Pfizer_ESG_Report.pdf.

- COLLEAGUE RESOURCE GROUPS
Our site-based Colleague Resource Groups (CRGs) help drive inclusion and professional development at Pfizer. CRGs are groups of colleagues who are part of, or believe in, the goals of a diverse population, and are open to anyone who wants to join. These groups provide a forum through which we can collectively deliver on our Bold Move to make Pfizer an amazing place to work for all.
Through participation in CRGs, colleagues collaborate to foster awareness, respect, and inclusion within the workplace. They offer support, developmental opportunities, mentoring, and networking opportunities to help their members enhance their skills and advance their careers.
