We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate daily to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it holds true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to unleash the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—drives everything we do and reflects our passion for expanding 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 continue to be at the centre of all we do. We embody our purpose by finding the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, utilizing digital technologies to improve 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 foster an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
