Pfizer started as a small business over 150 years ago. Our growth has been tied to the health and well-being of our customers. This special connection has prompted us to seek ways of supporting and strengthening our customers' communities.

We believe one of the ways we can contribute to the long-term health and vitality of minority communities is by building strong business relationships. Minority and female consumers are an important economic force and we understand that our future success is tied to the future success of minority communities.

Making opportunities available to minority-owned business enterprises (MBEs), women-owned business enterprises (WBEs) and small businesses through Pfizer's Supplier Diversity Program is an important first step that can lead to jobs, economic development and a variety of mutual benefits.
