We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We create innovations daily to make the world a better place. This 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 maximize the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—drives 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 meaning and represents the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients remain at the heart of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to enhance 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 determination we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
