What is the Gender Pay Gap?

The gender pay gap is the difference in average hourly pay between men and women across the entire organisation. This is expressed as a percentage of men’s earnings and provides important insights into what needs to be done to achieve gender equality in the workplace.

What is Pfizer UK's Gender Pay Gap?

Closing the Gender Pay Gap is a long-term initiative at Pfizer. When we first shared the calculation in 2018 our median gender pay gap was 15.5%. In 2024, our median gender pay gap was 7.9%. Whilst we are pleased to continue the trend to overall reduction, we acknowledge that there is more work to be done as we continue to pursue our long-term strategies.

Our commitment for the future

We remain committed to implementing our long-term, five-point strategy, which is built around these five key initiatives:

  1. Inclusive Recruitment: Attracting a wide range of talent to recruit the best person for every role.
  2. Flexible Workplace: Creating a harmonious work-life balance for all colleagues.
  3. Returner Support: Assisting colleagues returning from long-term absence, ensuring they feel engaged and valued.
  4. Career Progression Support: Providing resources to help colleagues clarify their career paths and make positive changes.
  5. Family-Friendly Practices: Supporting colleagues throughout varying stages of family life, recognising modern family dynamics.

Our commitment to addressing the gender pay gap reflects our values: Equity, Courage, Excellence and Joy.

Through living these values, we are dedicated to implementing positive change, to our business and the wider society.

“Pfizer UK’s continued focus and commitment is to take actions that close the Gender Pay Gap.  Doing so remains integral to our value of Equity; we are dedicated to fostering an environment where merit-based achievements are recognised and rewarded, ensuring that our workplace is one where everyone experiences a sense of belonging, and can thrive.”Sarah Sainsbury
People Experience Director, Pfizer UK
