We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it still holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to unleash the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—drives everything we do and shows 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 significance and reflects the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients stay at the core of all we do. We embody our purpose by finding the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to improve 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 determination we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
