We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate daily to make the world a healthier place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it holds true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more creative, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to harness the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and shows our passion for building on our legacy as one of the most meaningful contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and embodies the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients continue to be at the centre of all we do. We live our purpose by sourcing 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 driving the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
