We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate every day to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more creative, draw and keep the best people, and know how to harness the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—drives everything we do and demonstrates our passion for growing 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 makes certain that patients stay at the heart of all we do. We embody our purpose by finding the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, using 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 determination we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
