We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We drive innovation each day to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, draw and keep the best professionals, 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 significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has significance and represents the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients continue to be at the heart of all we do. We live our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to increase 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 decision we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
