We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate every day to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more inventive, draw and keep the best talent, and know how to harness the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—drives everything we do and demonstrates our passion for building on our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and represents the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients continue to be 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 enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading 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 prosper.
