We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We drive innovation every day to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best professionals, 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 growing our legacy as one of the most significant 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 guarantees that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by finding the best science in the world, working 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 leading the conversation to advocate for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
