We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We create innovations every day to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it remains true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more inventive, attract and retain the best professionals, and know how to harness the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and reflects 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 importance and represents the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients continue to be at the core of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by finding the best science in the world, partnering 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 spearheading the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
