We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We create innovations daily to make the world a better place. This was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it still holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to unleash the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—drives everything we do and reflects our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and represents the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients stay at the core of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by finding the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, using digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to advocate for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
