We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it still holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more creative, attract and retain the best talent, and know how to unleash the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—powers everything we do and reflects our passion for building on our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and represents the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We live our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to enhance 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 action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
