We're in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations daily to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more innovative, draw and keep the best people, and know how to maximize the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—fuels everything we do and shows our passion for building on our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has significance and reflects the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients stay at the core of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, employing 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 determination we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
