We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate every day to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to unleash the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and shows our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and embodies the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients stay at the core of all we do. We live our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, using digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
