We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We create innovations every day 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, draw and keep the best people, and know how to harness the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—powers everything we do and demonstrates 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 embodies the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We embody our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, utilizing digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading 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.
