We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best talent, and know how to unleash the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and shows our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most meaningful contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and embodies the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients stay at the core of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, utilizing digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
