We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We create innovations every day to make the world a better place. This was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to maximize the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—powers everything we do and reflects 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 reflects the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients remain at the core of all we do. We embody 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 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 move we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
