We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a better place. It 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 inventive, attract and retain the best talent, and know how to harness the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—powers everything we do and demonstrates 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 reflects 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 embody our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, using digital technologies to improve 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 nurture an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
