We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a better place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more creative, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to unleash the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—powers 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 aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain 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 enhance access to our medicines, using digital technologies to improve 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 move we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
