We're in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a healthier place. It was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it remains true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, attract and retain the best people, and know how to unleash the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—drives everything we do and shows our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has significance and reflects the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by finding the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, using digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
