We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate every day to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it holds true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, draw and keep the best talent, and know how to unleash the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—drives everything we do and shows our passion for building on our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and reflects the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We embody our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every move we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
