We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We drive innovation every day to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it still holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to harness the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and shows our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most meaningful 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 continue to be at the heart of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by finding the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, utilizing digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every move we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
