We're in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We drive innovation every day to make the world a better place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it still holds true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, draw and keep the best talent, and know how to unleash the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—powers everything we do and reflects 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 significance and represents the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients remain at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, partnering 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 leading 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 foster an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
