We're in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We drive innovation every day to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more innovative, draw and keep the best people, and know how to unleash the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—drives everything we do and demonstrates our passion for building on 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 aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients stay at the heart of all we do. We embody our purpose by finding the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading 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.
