We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We drive innovation each day to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more innovative, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to maximize the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and shows 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 represents the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients continue to be at the centre of all we do. We embody our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, utilizing digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to push 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.
