We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We drive innovation daily to make the world a better place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more inventive, attract and retain the best people, and know how to unleash the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—powers everything we do and demonstrates our passion for building on 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 work 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 finding the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to campaign 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.
