We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate daily to make the world a better place. It 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 creative, attract and retain the best people, and know how to harness the power of those individuals. 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 significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has significance and represents the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients remain at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, working 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 spearheading the conversation to advocate for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every move we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
