Pfizer’s Statement on Results of Sixth Annual Pay Equity Study Among Colleagues Worldwide
NEW YORK, N.Y., February 25, 2025 – Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE) announced today that, for the sixth consecutive year, an independent compensation expert confirmed equitable pay practices for employees at Pfizer.
The study assessed pay equity for gender worldwide and for minorities in the United States based on compensation data, including base pay and bonuses. The study measured the difference between similar groups of employees when adjusting for factors such as role, grade, job level, and location.
The results indicate that Pfizer compensates female colleagues greater than 99.5% of what male colleagues are paid across the globe. Additionally, in the United States, minorities are paid at parity (100%) with non-minorities. This is the fourth consecutive year that the company has achieved 100% parity with respect to race. Colleagues whose pay is determined by a collective bargaining agreement were not included in the study. Pfizer’s Executive Leadership Team (except the CEO) was included in this analysis.
Pfizer is again releasing median pay gaps for females globally and minorities in the United States. Very few companies release their median pay gaps, and Pfizer is leading the way with this disclosure. Median pay gaps measure the difference between the middle-paid employee from one group against the other and generally reflect representation across organizational levels.
Pfizer’s median pay for females globally is 102.2% of the median pay of males, and the median pay for minorities in the United States is 83.9% of the median pay for non-minorities. We will continue to focus on pay equity in a fair and equitable manner consistent with employment laws.
“We are proud that for six straight years, a compensation expert has confirmed our equitable pay practices at Pfizer. Striving for pay equity across gender and race and disclosing our results year after year is an example of why Pfizer is an amazing workplace. While we have made and maintained progress, we recognize that there is still room for improvement. We remain steadfast in our commitment to building an equitable and inclusive experience for our patients, colleagues, and society at large,” said Payal Sahni Becher, Pfizer’s Chief People Experience Officer, and Executive Vice President.
