We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a better place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it still holds true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more innovative, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to unleash the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—powers everything we do and shows our passion for building on our legacy as one of the most meaningful contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and represents the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients continue to be at the heart of all we do. We embody our purpose by seeking 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 campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every move we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
