We're in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We drive innovation each day to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it remains true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more creative, draw and keep the best professionals, and know how to maximize the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—drives everything we do and shows our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most important 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 fulfill our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to advocate for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
