We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We innovate daily to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it still holds 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 unleash the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—drives 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 strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients stay at the core of all we do. We live our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
