We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We drive innovation each day to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it still holds true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to maximize the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—drives everything we do and reflects our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and represents the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We embody our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, using digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
