We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We create innovations daily to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it still holds true today. Evidence confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more inventive, draw and keep the best people, and know how to maximize the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—powers everything we do and reflects our passion for building on our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and represents the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients stay at the heart of all we do. We live our purpose by finding the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to increase 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 action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
