Lobbying and Political Contributions

Public policy affects our ability to meet patient needs and provide shareholder value. Essential aspects of our business are being challenged by barriers to access, counterfeits, illegal importation and challenges to intellectual property protection. For this reason, we actively participate in public policy dialogues to explain our perspectives. We have extensive knowledge about health care and many ideas about improving its efficiency, as well as a global perspective on public health, disease prevention and health education.

We believe that public policy engagement is an important and appropriate role for companies in open societies, when conducted in a legal and transparent manner. In the U.S. there are important federal and state lobbying registration and disclosure laws with which Pfizer complies. To demonstrate transparency, we also publicly disclose our corporate political contributions and employee Political Action Committee contributions on our Web site.
