We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate every day to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it remains true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to maximize the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—powers 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 importance and represents the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients continue to be at the centre of all we do. We embody our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, employing 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 move we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
