We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it remains true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more creative, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to harness the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change 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 importance and embodies the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients stay at the core of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, working 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 choice we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
