We're in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate 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 achieve more, are more creative, 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—powers everything we do and reflects 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 embodies the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients remain at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, collaborating 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 driving 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 foster an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
