We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations daily to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it still holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more creative, recruit and maintain 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 demonstrates our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and represents the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, utilizing digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
