We're in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We create innovations every day to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, attract and retain the best talent, and know how to unleash the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—powers 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 embodies the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients remain at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by finding the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, using digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
