We're in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it remains true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more innovative, attract and retain the best professionals, and know how to unleash the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—drives everything we do and reflects our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and represents the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, working 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 driving the conversation to advocate for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
