We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate every day to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, attract and retain the best talent, and know how to maximize the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—powers everything we do and shows our passion for building on our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and represents the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients continue to be at the heart of all we do. We live our purpose by seeking 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 determination we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
