We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, attract and retain the best professionals, and know how to harness the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—drives everything we do and demonstrates our passion for building on our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and reflects the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients remain at the centre of all we do. We embody our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, collaborating 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 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 foster an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
