We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, attract and retain the best people, and know how to maximize the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and demonstrates our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and embodies the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients continue to be at the core of all we do. We embody our purpose by finding the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
