We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We innovate every day to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it still holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more innovative, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to harness the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—powers 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 significance and represents the value we aim 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 increase access to our medicines, using 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 action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
