We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it holds true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to unleash the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—powers everything we do and reflects our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and reflects the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients continue to be at the core of all we do. We embody our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
