We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We create innovations daily to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it holds true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to harness the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—fuels everything we do and demonstrates our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and embodies the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We live our purpose by finding the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, using digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
