We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We innovate every day to make the world a more healthy place. This 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 creative, draw and keep the best people, and know how to maximize the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—powers everything we do and reflects our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning 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 fulfill our purpose by finding the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to advocate for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
