We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, draw and keep the best professionals, and know how to unleash the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—drives everything we do and shows our passion for growing 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 aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients continue to be at the heart of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, using digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving 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 prosper.
