We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We drive innovation daily to make the world a healthier place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it remains true today. Evidence confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more innovative, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to unleash the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and reflects our passion for building on our legacy as one of the most meaningful contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and embodies the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients stay at the core of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, using digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to advocate for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
