We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate every day to make the world a more healthy 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, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to harness the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—drives everything we do and demonstrates our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and embodies the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients continue to be at the heart of all we do. We embody our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every move we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
