Key Statements

“But however, within this beauty, America is also having problems with systematic racism more than other places in the world, and inability of different groups to integrate with others. And I see diversity and inclusion—I saw it from the first day—as two different faces of the same coin. Diversity is about bringing people from different backgrounds inside Pfizer and to try to create, recreate, a diverse society within the organization. Inclusiveness is having the conditions that they feel welcomed, that they feel that they belong, that they don't feel that they are outsiders into that.”<br />

“… we have articulated that we want to be the leaders in our industry in ESG and I think that all three letters of the ESG are relevant to us.”

“What we are experiencing, though, and I'm going to the second, it is a societal crisis right now. I'm not speaking about the misinformation that is spread through the social media because misinformation is wrong information but can be innocent. You don't know that you lie. You say what you think is true. That can create some damage because some people can believe you and you confuse people. But in any case, it's happening, always was happening. We are speaking about organized disinformation. This is senders that, on purpose, they spread malicious information, false information that they know is false because they have an agenda to destabilize society, to make a political move, to make an easy back and to basically discredit institutions. And now the enemy, because we went into the COVID and became a very big deal, the enemy is science. Doesn't matter if it is a Pfizer science or if it is Tony Fauci science or if it is CDC science or if it is FDA science. They are all a conspiracy that they are trying together to harm people.”

“And equity, make sure you think about when you do your pricing is easy. To have one price for all is more difficult to have different prices for different tiers of customers because we'll be criticized. But that's the right thing to do. Equity is not giving everyone the same. Equity is giving more to those that they need more that's equity, right? So that's what we felt.”
