We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a better place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it still holds true today. Evidence confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, draw and keep the best people, and know how to maximize the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—drives everything we do and shows 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 stay at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, using digital technologies to improve 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.
