We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate daily to make the world a better place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it still holds true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more innovative, draw and keep the best talent, and know how to unleash the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—drives everything we do and reflects our passion for building on 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 work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients continue to be at the heart of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by finding the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, using digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading 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 create an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
