We're in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We create innovations every day to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it holds true today. Evidence confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best talent, and know how to harness the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—drives everything we do and demonstrates our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and represents the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients continue to be 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 improve access to our medicines, using digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
