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 still holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, draw and keep the best people, and know how to unleash the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—powers everything we do and demonstrates our passion for building on our legacy as one of the most meaningful contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has significance and embodies the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients remain at the heart of all we do. We embody our purpose by finding the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, utilizing 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 decision we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
