We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We drive innovation each day to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it still holds true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to unleash the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—powers everything we do and shows our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most meaningful 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 ensures that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We live our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
