We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We create innovations every day to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it holds true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, attract and retain the best professionals, and know how to maximize the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—fuels everything we do and demonstrates our passion for growing 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 ensures that patients remain at the heart of all we do. We embody our purpose by seeking 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 leading 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 foster an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
