We're in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a better place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it holds true today. Evidence confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more inventive, draw and keep the best professionals, and know how to harness the power of those people. 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 important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and represents the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients continue to be at the centre of all we do. We live our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to enhance 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 action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
