We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We drive innovation every day to make the world a better place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more innovative, 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 demonstrates our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most meaningful 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 makes certain that patients stay at the heart of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, using digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
