We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We drive innovation every 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 inventive, draw and keep the best people, and know how to maximize the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—fuels everything we do and reflects our passion for growing 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 aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients stay at the heart of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, employing 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 choice we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
