We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We drive innovation each day to make the world a healthier place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more innovative, 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 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 embody our purpose by finding the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to enhance 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 action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
