We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it remains true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, draw and keep the best professionals, and know how to unleash the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that transform patients' lives—powers everything we do and demonstrates our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has significance and represents the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients remain at the heart of all we do. We embody our purpose by finding the best science in the world, partnering 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 spearheading 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 create an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
