We're in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We innovate daily to make the world a healthier place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it still holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more innovative, recruit and maintain 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 shows 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 significance and embodies the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients stay at the core of all we do. We embody our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, using 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 choice we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
