We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it still holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more inventive, draw and keep the best professionals, and know how to unleash the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and shows 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 embodies the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients stay at the core of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, using digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading 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 create an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
