Our purpose is grounded in our commitment to fund programs that provide public benefit, advance medical care and improve patient outcomes. Our belief is that all people deserve to live healthy lives. This drives our desire to provide access to medicines that are safe, effective and affordable.

To fully realize Pfizer’s purpose – Breakthroughs that change patients’ lives – we have established a clear set of expectations regarding “what” we need to achieve for patients and “how” we will go about achieving those goals.

The “how” is represented by four simple, powerful values – courage, excellence, equity and joy – that define our company and our culture.

COURAGE
Breakthroughs start by challenging convention, especially in the face of uncertainty or adversity. This happens when we think big, speak up and are decisive.

EXCELLENCE
We can only change patients’ lives when we perform at our best together. This happens when we focus on what matters, agree who does what and measure our outcomes.

EQUITY
​​​​​​​​​​​​We believe that every person deserves to be seen, heard and cared for. This happens when we are inclusive, act with integrity and reduce health care disparities. 

JOY
We give ourselves to our work, but it also gives to us. We find joy when we take pride, recognize one another and have fun.
