We're in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a healthier place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to maximize the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—powers everything we do and reflects 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 importance and embodies the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We live our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, using digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
