We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations daily to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it holds true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more creative, draw and keep the best professionals, and know how to maximize the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and shows 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 meaning and reflects the value we work 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 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 choice we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
