We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate every day to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it still holds true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to harness the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—drives everything we do and demonstrates our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has significance and reflects the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients remain at the core of all we do. We embody our purpose by sourcing 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 campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every move we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
