We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations daily to make the world a better place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more innovative, attract and retain 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 shows our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has significance and reflects the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients stay at the heart of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, utilizing digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
