We're in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate every day to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more innovative, 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 reflects our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most meaningful 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 guarantees that patients stay at the heart of all we do. We embody our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, using digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to advocate 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 prosper.
