Corporate Governance

At Pfizer, we understand that good corporate governance and transparency is essential to our ability to be a trusted member of society. In order to create and sustain value for our stakeholders, and for society as a whole, we must first practice responsible business principles. And, we must take into account our stakeholders’ interests and be held accountable to them.

That is why, in 1992, Pfizer became the first U.S. company to establish a corporate governance department. And, it’s why Pfizer’s Corporate Governance Committee considers the perspectives of stakeholders in the company’s decisions regarding current and emerging political, social and public policy issues.

To ensure that every employee throughout our organization plays an active role in implementing our commitment to responsible business, Pfizer has developed Policies on Business Conduct. First written more than 20 years ago, the “Blue Book,” as it is known, is reviewed annually to ensure it meets or exceeds evolving societal expectations. The “Blue Book” has been translated into 36 languages and every employee, at every level of our organization, is required to learn and abide by its rules.
