We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it still holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more innovative, recruit and maintain the best talent, and know how to unleash the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—powers everything we do and shows our passion for building on our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has significance and represents the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients continue to be 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 improve access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to push 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 thrive.
