We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We drive innovation daily to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial 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 unleash the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—powers everything we do and demonstrates 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 meaning and represents the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients remain at the core 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, utilizing digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading 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.
