We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We drive innovation every day to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, draw and keep the best people, and know how to maximize the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels 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 meaning and embodies the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients stay at the core of all we do. We live our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
