We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We create innovations daily to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it holds true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, draw and keep the best talent, and know how to unleash the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—drives everything we do and demonstrates our passion for expanding 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 work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by finding the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, utilizing digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to push 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 prosper.
