We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate daily to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more creative, recruit and maintain 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 reflects our passion for building on our legacy as one of the most important 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 stay at the core of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by finding the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, using digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving 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 create an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
