We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more innovative, recruit and maintain the best talent, and know how to unleash the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—fuels everything we do and demonstrates 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 importance and embodies the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We live our purpose by finding the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving 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 nurture an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
