We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate every day to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it still holds true today. Evidence confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, draw and keep the best people, and know how to harness the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—fuels everything we do and reflects our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and reflects the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients remain at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
