We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We create innovations every day to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more creative, draw and keep the best professionals, and know how to unleash the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—powers everything we do and demonstrates 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 meaning and embodies the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients continue to be at the core of all we do. We live our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, using digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
