We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We drive innovation each day to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it still holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more innovative, attract and retain the best talent, and know how to maximize the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—fuels everything we do and reflects our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and represents the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients remain at the core of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by sourcing 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 advocate for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
