Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity and inclusion are core values of Pfizer, and for good reason. The ownership culture we want to build is rooted in inclusion, the recognition that good ideas come from all sources. The willingness to encourage diversity of thinking sharpens both planning and performance. Consequently, we place a high value on inclusive behaviors and respect for individuals, communities and cultures. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion helps all our colleagues connect their special skills, knowledge and life experiences with those of stakeholders outside our company.

We have a long history of all-colleague groups that take an active role in creating an inclusive environment and developing diverse talent, finding ways to increase our business among diverse groups, and ensuring that the company is treating people fairly wherever we operate. In 2011, we intensified and expanded upon this approach by creating a number of Pfizer Colleague Councils, an internal network of specific groups, each with a sponsor from the Executive Leadership team. The seven groups formed to date represent individuals from the Asian, Black, Latino, Women, Veterans, Disabled, and LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual and Transgender) colleague populations.

We are committed to being a global employer of choice and are proud of the recognition we have received over the past year for being a good place to work, including the following.
