External Supply

EHS External Supply
Pfizer is establishing a competitive "make or buy" supply network. Key considerations for outsourcing decisions include:
  • The ability to supply, capacity flexibility
  • Supply chain integrity, reliability, product quality
  • Regulatory compliance and safe practices
  • Technology
  • Cost competitiveness

Potential suppliers are evaluated on their ability to produce material in a manner that meets regulatory requirements.

 
Supplier Review Program
Commitment to effective and responsible environment, health and safety (EHS) management goes beyond our facilities' boundaries. We expect suppliers to conduct operations in a safe and environmentally responsible manner. To reduce the risk of business interruption, potential damage to reputation, legal liability and breach of Pfizer's values, performance expectations are developed for EHS risk management.
Assessment and Improvement
Pfizer is committed to using suppliers that demonstrate acceptable performance in EHS and labor practices. Assessments help Pfizer manage business continuity, liability and reputation risks, while ensuring supply decisions align with company values. Evaluations are repeated periodically.
Coaching and Training
Pfizer is also committed to helping contract manufacturers and key suppliers in the developing world improve their EHS competencies through training workshops and coaching sessions. In short, our program does well by doing good: We help elevate the EHS performance of our selected contractors, which benefits their workers and communities while protecting Pfizer's value chain.
PSCI and External Certifications
Pfizer is a signatory to the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Initiative (PSCI), adopted by pharmaceutical companies that share the goal of helping suppliers achieve better environmental, health and safety performance while improving labor standards.
