We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a more healthy place. This 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 harness the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—powers everything we do and reflects 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 significance and embodies the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients continue to be at the core of all we do. We live our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, using 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 step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
