We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations every day to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it still holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more inventive, attract and retain the best professionals, and know how to harness the power of those people. 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 important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and reflects the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients continue to be at the centre of all we do. We live our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to enhance 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 step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
