We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate daily to make the world a healthier place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more creative, recruit and maintain the best talent, and know how to harness the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—drives everything we do and demonstrates 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 represents the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients remain at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading 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 foster an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
