We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, draw and keep the best professionals, and know how to harness the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—powers everything we do and demonstrates 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 meaning and represents the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients remain at the centre of all we do. We embody our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, utilizing digital technologies to improve 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 create an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
