We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding 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 team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—fuels everything we do and reflects our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most meaningful contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and embodies the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients stay at the core of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, using 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 choice we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
