Culture and ethical decision making are foundational to Pfizer’s purpose. We are committed to fostering a culture of integrity throughout the company.
Integrity is built into our Company Values: Courage, Excellence, Equity, and Joy
All colleagues are responsible for acting with integrity in all they do, and our leaders are accountable for proactive risk management and prioritizing a culture of integrity over business results. We incorporate ethics and business integrity into internal performance evaluations, which are designed to enhance colleague accountability, including leadership performance with integrity. We measure our integrity culture and speak-up environment annually through colleague surveys.
Speak Up Culture, Open Door and Whistleblower Protections
Courage is a core value, and we promote a speak up environment. Our whistleblowing policies (e.g., Open Door policy) and strict anti-retaliation policies require reporting misconduct and encourage raising concerns about any issues. Retaliation against anyone who seeks advice, raises a concern, reports misconduct, or provides information in an investigation is prohibited. Pfizer takes all policy concerns seriously and, to the extent violations of policy are identified, takes appropriate disciplinary action and corrective actions, including potential termination. We measure our culture of integrity with surveys, and the results are used to focus leadership communications, training, and other proactive improvement efforts.
We provide multiple channels for asking questions and raising potential compliance concerns, including anonymous reporting options where permitted by law, and keep matters as confidential as possible:
