Enhancing the Quality of Life...Where We Work and Where We Live

The quality of life and the vibrancy of the communities in which we work and live are of vital importance — both for our Pfizer colleagues who live and work in these areas and for the other residents whose neighborhoods we share. In order to ensure the effectiveness of our efforts to serve our communities, Pfizer’s creates programs and partnerships that are targeted and localized. At our sites around the world, Pfizer colleagues develop unique local programs based on their knowledge of their surrounding communities and build successful partnerships with local civic, community and cultural organizations.
