We're in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We innovate every day to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to maximize the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—drives 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 importance and embodies the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients continue to be at the centre of all we do. We live our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, using digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to advocate 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.
