We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate every day to make the world a healthier place. It was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it still holds true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more innovative, 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—fuels everything we do and reflects 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 significance and represents the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients remain 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 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 foster an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
