We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We innovate every day to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it still holds true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to maximize 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 significance and represents the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients remain at the heart of all we do. We embody our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, collaborating 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 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 create an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
