We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We innovate daily to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it holds true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, draw and keep the best talent, and know how to maximize the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—fuels everything we do and reflects our passion for building on our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and represents the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients continue to be at the centre of all we do. We live our purpose by finding the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, using digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving 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 create an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
