We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We drive innovation daily to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, draw and keep the best professionals, and know how to harness the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and demonstrates our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning 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 finding the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, employing 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 decision we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
