We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We create innovations daily to make the world a better place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more innovative, draw and keep the best talent, and know how to maximize the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and demonstrates our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and embodies the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients remain at the centre of all we do. We fulfill 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 advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
