We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We drive innovation each day to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it still holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to maximize the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—fuels 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 strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients stay at the heart of all we do. We embody 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 spearheading the conversation to push 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 prosper.
