We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to unleash the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—powers everything we do and reflects 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 represents the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients remain at the core of all we do. We live our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, utilizing digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
