We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a better place. It 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 innovative, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to maximize the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—powers 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 meaning and reflects the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients remain at the heart of all we do. We embody our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, using digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading 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 foster an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
