We have taken many steps over the last two years to make more information about our business available to the public. For instance, we recognize that there are questions about the strength of governance at global corporations. We are committed to communicating openly about our governance structures and processes. In the Governance section of this report, for example, we have reported on our efforts to revise our executive compensation policy to address stakeholder concerns. more ›
We also understand the importance of providing clearer information about our medicines and science. We are now making the results of all our clinical trials available through the Research & Development section of our Web site. These disclosures discuss our approaches and protocols for trials, as well as all results, favorable and unfavorable of these trials. We have also begun disclosing all the grants and charitable contributions Pfizer makes to U.S.-based medical, scientific and patient organizations. We have announced our intention to begin disclosing payments to U.S. doctors and clinicians outside our company who do critical work with us. And we have put on our Web site one of the world's most comprehensive guides to the safety of medicines, giving patients much more information for assessing the benefits and risks of medications they are taking or considering. ‹ back
