We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations every day to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to maximize the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—powers everything we do and shows our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most meaningful 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 ensures that patients remain 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 improve access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
