We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it remains true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, draw and keep the best people, and know how to maximize the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—fuels everything we do and demonstrates our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and represents the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients stay at the core of all we do. We live our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, collaborating 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 push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
