We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it remains true today. Evidence confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more innovative, attract and retain the best talent, and know how to harness the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—powers everything we do and demonstrates our passion for growing 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 makes certain that patients remain at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, using digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to advocate 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 prosper.
