We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We create innovations daily to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, attract and retain the best professionals, and know how to unleash the power of those individuals. 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 meaningful contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and represents the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients continue to be at the heart of all we do. We live our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, collaborating 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 leading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every move we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
