We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a healthier place. It was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more creative, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to maximize the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—powers everything we do and demonstrates our passion for expanding 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 strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients continue to be at the core of all we do. We live our purpose by finding 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 spearheading the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
