GRI Reference Table

Global Reporting Frameworks

Pfizer continues to evaluate our approach to non-financial reporting, including reference to several existing, globally recognized external frameworks.

These include the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC). We have relied on elements of each framework in developing this year's Annual Review while adhering to none in its entirety. We have included a GRI Reference Table in this Annual Review as a reference tool to help readers more readily locate relevant information across Pfizer's web-based resources.

We also take into account elements of other Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) indices and sustainability indicators, in particular the Access to Medicines Index and the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
