We're in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a better place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to harness the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—drives everything we do and shows 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 importance and embodies the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients remain at the centre of all we do. We live our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
