We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it still holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, draw and keep the best professionals, and know how to maximize the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—fuels everything we do and demonstrates our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most important 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 ensures that patients continue to be at the core of all we do. We embody our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, utilizing digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
