We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We drive innovation each day to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to harness the power of those team members. 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 significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and represents the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, employing 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 action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
