We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We create innovations daily to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more inventive, draw and keep the best people, and know how to maximize the power of those people. 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 important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and reflects the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients stay at the heart of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
