We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a more healthy place. This 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 creative, attract and retain the best professionals, and know how to harness the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels 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 meaning and reflects the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients remain at the core of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, using digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to advocate 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 flourish.
