We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate every day to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it still holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best talent, and know how to harness 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 important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has significance and reflects the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients continue to be at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by finding the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
