We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it still holds true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more inventive, attract and retain the best people, and know how to harness the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—powers everything we do and demonstrates our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most important 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 guarantees that patients remain at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by finding the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, using digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
