We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate daily to make the world a better place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best talent, and know how to unleash the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—drives everything we do and reflects our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and represents the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients stay at the core of all we do. We embody our purpose by finding the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, using digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to campaign 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 flourish.
