We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, attract and retain the best people, and know how to maximize the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—drives everything we do and demonstrates our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has significance and represents 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 seeking the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
