We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We drive innovation daily to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more innovative, draw and keep the best people, and know how to maximize the power of those team members. 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 significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and reflects the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients remain at the centre of all we do. We embody our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
