We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate daily to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to unleash the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—fuels everything we do and shows 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 meaning and embodies the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients stay at the core of all we do. We embody our purpose by finding the best science in the world, working 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 spearheading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
