We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it still holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to harness the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—powers everything we do and shows 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 significance and embodies the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients continue to be at the centre of all we do. We live 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 advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to campaign 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 prosper.
