We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We create innovations daily to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to maximize the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—powers everything we do and reflects 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 embodies the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients stay at the core of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, utilizing digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to advocate for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
