We're in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that change 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 intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, attract and retain the best professionals, and know how to unleash the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—drives everything we do and demonstrates our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and represents the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients stay at the heart of all we do. We embody our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, using digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
