We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate daily to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it still holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to maximize the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—drives everything we do and demonstrates our passion for building on our legacy as one of the most meaningful contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and embodies the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
