We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate every day to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it still holds true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, draw and keep the best professionals, and know how to unleash the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—fuels everything we do and shows 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 reflects the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients stay at the heart of all we do. We fulfill 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 advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to advocate for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
