We're in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it remains true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to harness the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and reflects our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most meaningful contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and embodies the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients continue to be at the centre of all we do. We live our purpose by finding the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to advocate for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
