We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more inventive, draw and keep the best people, and know how to unleash the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels 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 meaning and embodies the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients remain at the heart of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, using 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 foster an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
