We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a better place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it still holds true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, 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—fuels everything we do and shows our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has significance and represents the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients remain at the heart of all we do. We live our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, using digital technologies to advance 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 action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
