We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations daily to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's original 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 people, and know how to unleash the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—powers everything we do and reflects our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and represents the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients continue to be at the core of all we do. We embody our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
