We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We drive innovation each day to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, draw and keep the best professionals, and know how to unleash the power of those individuals. 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 significance and represents the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients stay at the core of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, utilizing digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
