We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We drive innovation every day to make the world a healthier place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding 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 professionals, and know how to maximize the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—drives everything we do and shows our passion for expanding 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 aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients remain at the core of all we do. We embody our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, utilizing digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to advocate for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
