Our caring culture is fundamental to achieving Pfizer’s purpose to deliver breakthroughs that change patients’ lives. This includes developing innovative medicines and vaccines, encouraging colleague wellbeing, fostering diversity and excellence in the workplace and supporting our community.
Pfizer Cares Vision
Our Pfizer Cares Vision is to foster a supportive and inclusive culture that empowers all colleagues to actively engage and build trust with our communities, whilst supporting sustainable environmental stewardship.
This will allow us to be our best and in turn provide the best support and resources for patients.
Pfizer Cares incorporates these three pillars, which are underpinned by a guiding principle to improve patient outcomes.

Charity of Choice: Pfizer Colleagues choose the main charity we support in both Australia and New Zealand
Australia
Since 2016, Pfizer colleagues have voted for The Smith Family as Pfizer's Charity of Choice through Pfizer CARES. As a healthcare focussed organisation, our charity of choice is a national charity that supports children experiencing disadvantage.
The Smith Family is a children’s education charity with a vision of a world where every child has the opportunity to change their future, no matter their circumstances. The Smith Family works with young people to overcome educational inequality caused by poverty – so they can thrive now and into their futures.
Over the course of our long-term partnership with The Smith Family, we have invested more than $490,000 to support the education of young Australians in need to help them break the cycle of poverty. This is enough to provide financial assistance, personal support and access to learning and mentoring programs for the 72 students Pfizer sponsors. This includes 35 students who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.
In addition, our partnership provides an opportunity for our highly engaged Pfizer colleagues to volunteer for Smith Family corporate programs and give back using their four volunteer days and beyond. Our face-to-face and virtual volunteering programs include:
