Pfizer Pharmaceutical Company: The World's Largest Pharmaceutical Company

The Pfizer Energy and Climate Change Program

Performance:

    Clean Energy Breakdown
  • Obtained 16% of our energy needs from clean energy sources at the end of 2007, with an additional estimated 8% to be contributed from future cogeneration.
  • Attained our first generation GHG goal — from 2000 through 2007, we reduced CO2 emissions by 43% per million dollars of revenue.
  • Decreased our absolute CO2 emissions approximately 20% from 2000 to 2007.
  • Achieved an absolute GHG emissions reduction of more than 200,000 tCO2eq in 2007 from 2006 (8.4%).
  • Implemented over 430 energy conservation measures in 2007, an increase of 40 projects from the previous year, resulting in an overall 6% improvement in energy efficiency for Pfizer-owned facilities and a reduction of CO2 emissions of more than 130,000 MT on an annual basis.

Did You Know?

In addition to energy savings, conservation projects completed during 2007 will contribute toward reducing Pfizer water usage by over 1.3 million cubic meters on an annual basis.

Projects making significant contributions in reducing water usage globally include API recovery of reverse osmosis water to cooling towers, recycling of wastewater treatment plant effluent water, and increased boiler condensate recovery.
