Our values
Our values are a declaration of our core beliefs and the defining features of a culture that breeds achievement. We've identified nine that crystallise who we are, who we have always been and what we stand for. These values reflect the enduring character of Pfizer and its people.
Integrity
We demand of ourselves and others the highest ethical standards, and demand that products and processes be of the highest quality.
We start every task by asking:
-
Would we be proud to explain how we are achieving our results?
-
Are we doing the right thing, in the right way?
Innovation
Innovation is the key to improving health and sustaining Pfizer's growth and profitability.
We start every assignment by asking:
Community
We play an active role in making every country and community in which we operate a better place to live and work, knowing that its ongoing vitality has a direct impact on the long-term health of our business.
We consider in every place where we work:
Customer Focus
We are deeply committed to meeting the needs of our customers, and we constantly focus on customer satisfaction.
We start every meeting by asking:
Collaboration
We know that to be a successful company we must work together, frequently transcending organisational and geographic boundaries to meet the changing needs of our customers.
We approach each other by asking:
Leadership
We believe that leaders empower those around them by sharing knowledge and rewarding outstanding individual effort. We are dedicated to providing opportunities for leadership at all levels in our organisation.
We ask each other:
-
Do we constantly challenge the status quo?
-
Are we driving performance?
-
Are we modelling the behaviour we want to see?
Performance
We strive for continuous improvement in our performance, measuring results carefully, and ensuring that integrity and respect for people are never compromised.
We challenge each other by asking:
-
Are we acting like entrepreneurs?
-
Are we making continuous improvement a way of life, every day?
-
Are we pursuing the activities that add the greatest value?
-
Are we holding ourselves accountable and learning from our mistakes?
Respect For People
We recognise that people are the cornerstone of Pfizer's success. We come from many different countries and cultures and we speak many languages. We value our diversity as a source of strength, and are proud of Pfizer's history of treating employees with respect and dignity.
We challenge ourselves by asking:
Quality
Quality is ingrained in the work of our colleagues and in all our values. We are dedicated to the delivery of quality healthcare around the world. Our business practices and processes are designed to achieve quality results that exceed the expectations of all of our stakeholders.
We begin and finish every project by asking:
-
What are we doing to make everything better?
-
Would we be confident if our parents, children, friends or neighbours were taking our medicine?
