We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to unleash the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—fuels everything we do and reflects our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has significance and represents the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients stay at the heart of all we do. We live our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, using digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to advocate for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
