We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We create innovations daily to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more creative, attract and retain the best professionals, and know how to harness the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—powers everything we do and shows our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most meaningful contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and reflects the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We embody our purpose by finding the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
