We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate daily to make the world a healthier place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, draw and keep the best talent, and know how to unleash the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—drives everything we do and reflects our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most meaningful 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 ensures that patients stay at the core of all we do. We live our purpose by finding the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading 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 nurture an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
