Core Values

We will use our talent and determination, as well as our portfolio with some of the world’s most successful medicines, to build on a proud legacy and find new opportunities to work together for a healthier world.

For over 160 years, Pfizer has worked to bring the very best and the most advanced in healthcare within reach of millions of consumers from countries around the world. Throughout our illustrious history and the legacy that we have worked hard to uphold, we stayed true to our values of customer service, integrity, respect for people, teamwork, innovation, performance, community, leadership, and quality, remembering that above products, our business is defined by the communities that we serve and the quality of life that we are able to offer them through our medical innovations.

With our values as our foundations, we work to achieve the enduring priorities that also serve as the fundamentals of our business operations. We strive to maximize revenues and manage costs, keeping in mind that, as a business enterprise, we have a financial responsibility to our employees, customers, shareholders, and all those whose businesses and lives depend upon our own.  We also work to strengthen our culture, celebrating diversity within our global organization and nurturing the spirit of creativity and  innovation within our teams. As a responsible corporate citizen, we strive to consistently meet our commitments to stakeholders, cognizant of the fact that we are a major player in the industries and communities where we operate. Finally, we engage each other, fueled by the power of partnerships and inspired by the impact of our work on the lives of men, women, and animals from all corners of the globe.

As a worldwide brand and a leader in our industry, we build on our priorities and leverage the best opportunities to invest in our future, create value with science and technology, and deliver innovative health care. Our core strategies involve: refocusing and optimizing our patent-protected portfolio; finding new opportunities for established products; growing in emerging markets; investing in complementary businesses; and instilling a culture of innovation and continuous improvement.

Ultimately, we at Pfizer exist to work together for a healthier world. We invest our human and material resources to apply innovative science in improving world health, driven by our commitment to discover, develop and ensure access to safe and effective medicines; partner with key stakeholders and earn their trust; build productive and enduring relationships with governments and communities; make Pfizer a great place to work; and create long-term value for shareholders. Consistent with our responsibility as the world's leading biopharmaceutical company, we also collaborate with healthcare providers, governments and local communities to support and expand access to reliable, affordable healthcare around the world. For more than 150 years, Pfizer has worked to make a difference for all who rely on us.
