We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations daily to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more innovative, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to unleash the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—powers 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 represents the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We live our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, using digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to advocate for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
