We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it holds true today. Research confirms 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 individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—fuels everything we do and reflects our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has significance and represents the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients remain at the centre of all we do. We embody our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to improve 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 choice we make, and every move we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
