We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a better place. This was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it still holds true today. Evidence confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, draw and keep the best people, and know how to unleash the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and demonstrates our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has significance and embodies 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, partnering with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
