PFIZER STANDARDS

As a Pfizer colleague, one shares the privilege and responsibility of upholding the Company’s honourable reputation. You do this each time you act ethically and legally. While such conduct may be second nature, there are many situations where making the “right choice” can be challenging. It is a guide to the Company’s compliance structure, applicable laws, and key policies and procedures that govern doing business in a legal and ethical manner. Performing with integrity and adhering to compliance standards is a shared responsibility between the Company and employees. The Company is responsible for defining how Pfizer will comply with applicable laws and regulations (through systems, policies, and procedures); monitoring efforts; and correcting any non-compliance. Pfizer also holds its vendors and contractors to high standards. Vendors and contractors are expected to comply with all policies that relate to work conducted on Pfizer’s behalf. All employees are subject to the laws and regulations of the country where they work.

PERFORMANCE WITH INTIGRITY

Pfizer counts on you to uphold the Company’s reputation and standards by always performing with integrity. To do so, keep in mind the following guiding principles:

Know and live the standards. By knowing, understanding, and acting in accordance with Pfizer’s Values and the applicable laws and Company policies outlined herein, each of us can serve as a role model.

8

Know the law and ask tough questions. You are expected to be familiar with the laws that apply to your specific job function and level of responsibility. If you have any questions, ask your supervisor, a member of the Legal Division, or the Corporate Compliance Group.

Don’t make assumptions. Do not assume that “senior management already knows” or “management doesn’t care about this.” Also, do not assume that no action will be taken. Pfizer management is dedicated to ensuring that the standards of legal and ethical behaviour are upheld.

o In fact, responsible managers are obligated to respond to an employee’s

concerns. Tell us if something is wrong.

Don’t ignore violations. We all need to take the law and Company policies seriously. If you think someone may be violating a law or policy, please take steps to address the situation by speaking with them directly or by notifying your supervisor, Human Resources or the Corporate Compliance Group.

Help improve controls and processes. Some violations may not be easy to detect within our current controls and processes. If you have a suggestion for improvement, please do not hesitate to make it.

Always act with integrity . You are never expected to violate a law or policy, nor should you ever feel encouraged or pressured to do so — even if the violation will improve the bottom line or help meet a performance goal.
