We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a healthier place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best talent, and know how to unleash the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—drives everything we do and shows our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has significance and reflects the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients continue to be at the centre of all we do. We embody our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, using digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
