We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it still holds true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more creative, draw and keep the best professionals, and know how to harness the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—powers everything we do and reflects our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most meaningful contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and reflects the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We live our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, using digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
