I'm working on connecting what we do to improve people's lives with the Sustainable Development Goals, and finding ways to amplify, measure and report our impact.

The United Nations has adopted 17 Global Goals for sustainable development. At Pfizer, we believe that good health is fundamental to advancing all of them. We are encouraging everyone to take action between now and 2030 to support these goals and help build a better world for all at all ages.
Pfizer has embraced the Global Goals, also known as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We see our purpose of improving people's lives through scientific innovation to be aligned with such goals for a better future, and believe that companies have a key role to play in supporting and advancing the SDGs. Pfizer and other companies are exploring innovative and sustainable commercial approaches to addressing the new development goals, including new models of public-private and cross-industry partnerships, as well as other forms of multi-stakeholder collaboration. Goal #17 explicitly calls on stakeholders to advance the goals through such partnerships.
IMPACT 2030 is a global, private sector-led collaboration that has come together to mobilize employee volunteers to advance the achievement of the SDGs. Pfizer is a founding partner in this effort. We bring a long history of tapping the passion and ingenuity of our colleagues, in programs such as Pfizer Global Health Fellows, to help build health care capacity and improve access to essential health services around the world.
Health is explicitly included as the third goal among the 17 SDGs, yet health is also inextricably linked to the other 16 goals, each of which enable or is enabled by advances in population health. As a contributor to development as well as a beneficiary, health is directly and indirectly intertwined with goals such as education, economic growth, infrastructure, climate change, finance and governance, and gender equality.
