We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it still holds true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more innovative, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to maximize the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—drives 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 importance and reflects the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We live our purpose by finding the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, employing 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 step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
