We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more innovative, recruit and maintain the best talent, and know how to maximize the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—drives everything we do and reflects our passion for building on our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and reflects the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients remain at the core 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 enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
