We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We innovate daily to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more innovative, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to harness the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—drives 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 importance and represents the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We embody our purpose by finding the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, using digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
