We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it holds true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more creative, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to maximize the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—fuels everything we do and reflects our passion for building on 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 strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients remain at the heart of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, using 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 decision we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
