We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We create innovations every day to make the world a better place. This was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it still holds true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more inventive, draw and keep the best people, 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 meaningful 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 remain at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
