We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate every day to make the world a better place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it holds true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more creative, draw and keep the best people, and know how to maximize the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and reflects our passion for building on our legacy as one of the most meaningful 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 ensures that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We live our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, employing 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 create an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
