Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: 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. Empowered to come to work in their authentic selves including but not limited to race, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, veteran/military status, and age, colleagues can contribute fully. Our culture and performance, in turn, become even stronger.

Our opportunity parity strategy represents our commitment to increase diversity.

In 2019, we announced representation goals by 2025 of 47 percent for women (globally) and 32 percent for minorities (U.S.) in Vice President (VP) roles and above.

Results so far:

• Representation of women at the VP level and above in 2022 was 43.1 percent globally (up 10.1 percent from 2019).
• Representation of minorities in the U.S. at the VP level and above in 2022 was 28.1 percent (up 8.1 percent from 2019).

We have publicly disclosed our EEO-1 Reports for 2016 through 2022 in the interest of serving greater transparency and will continue to 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. For this reason, meaningful comparisons between EEO-1 Report data and other descriptions of Pfizer’s DEI statistics and disclosures may not be possible.  Additionally, the data captured for the report is a snapshot in time; it does not offer full insight into activities such as acquisitions, divestitures, reorganizations, etc., which may significantly alter the colleague demographics and is not indicative of Pfizer’s diversity efforts. We are fully committed to our DEI efforts and our ongoing initiatives to remain a great place to work for all.

For a further discussion of ”Our People” initiative, including our DEI efforts, please refer to our Environmental, Social and Governance Report.

How We Implement Global Diversity

Pfizer believes in treating all colleagues fairly, a core aspect of our company value of equity. To that end, we are committed to pay equity as a means to ensure that all colleagues are paid fairly and equitably regardless of gender or race. Pfizer works toward pay equity by evaluating pay practices through annual pay equity studies, market benchmarking, and other steps to assess fair and equitable pay, and by complying with all applicable laws and other obligations regarding pay.

An independent compensation expert reviews Pfizer’s equitable pay practices. Here are the results:

At Pfizer, we believe every person deserves to be seen, heard, and cared for.

This is why Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is embedded into our Environment, Social, and Governance strategy. We’re focused on building a more inclusive colleague experience, advancing equitable health outcomes, and transforming society through external partnerships. This is a path we choose both mindfully and actively, and it is cultivated by listening, learning, and connecting with our colleagues, patients, and communities.

Pfizer has a long-standing commitment to equal employment opportunity and diversity, equity, and inclusion; we embrace accountability and transparency with our efforts. In 2023, we commissioned a third party to conduct an independent assessment of our DEI strategy and impact on racial equity in the U.S., and to identify opportunities to strengthen our efforts. The assessment methodology included a strategic review as well as interviews with Pfizer leaders, colleagues, and several different external stakeholders.

While we have made positive strides, we remain committed to our efforts and will continue to report on our progress.

Our Colleague Resource Groups (CRGs) help drive inclusion and professional development at Pfizer. All colleagues are welcome to join any CRG whether they are a member of the community or an ally.

Through participation in CRGs, colleagues collaborate to foster awareness, respect, and inclusion within the workplace. CRGs offer support, developmental opportunities, mentoring, and networking opportunities to help their members enhance their skills and advance their careers.

Pfizer’s CRGs include:

• Asian: Global Asian Alliance (GAA)

At Pfizer, we want colleagues to unlock their full potential and contribute meaningfully. That’s why we provide assistive technology to all colleagues, and for colleagues with disabilities who require the support of workplace accommodations, we have a long-established accommodation process.

To amplify each person's unique abilities and help make Pfizer an amazing workplace for all, our Digital organization has assembled guidance on the configuration and procurement of a range of digital assistive technologies. Technology guides include the personalization and setup of screen readers, screen magnification, text to speech, captions, dictation, voice enhancement, and foot pedals.

Our hiring efforts are also designed to welcome people with disabilities to join our global talent community. Visit our Pfizer Careers page to explore open opportunities.
