We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a healthier place. It was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, attract and retain the best people, and know how to harness the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—powers everything we do and demonstrates our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has significance and reflects the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients remain at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, using digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
