Environmental Sustainability

As a company committed to applying science to confront the world’s greatest challenges, reducing  greenhouse gas emissions is a strategic priority.

Our company purpose – “Breakthroughs that Change Patients’ Lives” – guides our environmental sustainability priorities, with a focus on climate impact mitigation, conservation of resources and the reduction of waste arising from our operations.¹ Pfizer has long acknowledged the significant risks posed to society by climate change, including increased adverse impacts on human health, frequency of severe weather events, and the potential disruption of value chains critical to providing medicines and vaccines to patients. We have been working for over two decades to address this global challenge through three generations of greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals and other resource conservation efforts. We are committed to developing and implementing a science-based climate action strategy and, in December 2020, announced our ambition to become carbon neutral by 2030.
