We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it still holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, attract and retain the best professionals, and know how to maximize the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—powers everything we do and reflects our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and embodies the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients continue to be 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 enhance access to our medicines, using digital technologies to enhance 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 action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
