We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate daily to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it holds true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more inventive, attract and retain the best people, and know how to unleash the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and reflects 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 represents the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients remain at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by finding 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 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 create an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
