We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate every day to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it still holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, draw and keep the best professionals, and know how to harness the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—fuels everything we do and demonstrates our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most meaningful contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and reflects the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, using digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
