We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We drive innovation daily to make the world a better place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it remains true today. Evidence confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, draw and keep the best professionals, and know how to unleash the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels 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 meaning and represents the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients stay at the core of all we do. We embody our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every move we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
