We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it still holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to unleash the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and demonstrates our passion for building on our legacy as one of the most meaningful contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has significance and reflects the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients remain at the core of all we do. We live our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, utilizing digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
