We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We drive innovation every day to make the world a better place. It 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 inventive, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to harness the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—drives everything we do and shows 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 embodies the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients stay at the heart of all we do. We live our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
