We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We drive innovation each day to make the world a better place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it holds true today. Evidence confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, attract and retain the best people, and know how to harness the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—powers everything we do and shows 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 reflects the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients continue to be at the centre of all we do. We embody our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to improve 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 step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
