We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We create innovations every day to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to maximize the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—powers everything we do and reflects our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most meaningful contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and represents the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients remain 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, using digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to advocate for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every move we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
