We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We drive innovation daily to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more inventive, draw and keep the best people, and know how to unleash the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—powers everything we do and demonstrates our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and embodies the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We live our purpose by finding the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, using digital technologies to improve 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 nurture an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
