We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We drive innovation each day to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to maximize the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—fuels everything we do and reflects 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 significance and represents the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients continue to be at the heart of all we do. We live our purpose by sourcing 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 leading the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
