We're in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We create innovations daily to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to unleash the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—fuels everything we do and shows our passion for expanding 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 ensures that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We embody our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to advocate for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
