We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more inventive, draw and keep the best people, and know how to harness the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—drives everything we do and shows our passion for building on 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 guarantees that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We embody our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, using digital technologies to improve 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 step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
