We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We create innovations daily to make the world a healthier place. It was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it still holds true today. Evidence confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to unleash the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—drives everything we do and demonstrates our passion for building on our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and embodies the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients remain at the heart of all we do. We embody 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 advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
