We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We drive innovation daily to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it still holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, attract and retain 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 demonstrates 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 importance and represents the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients continue to be at the core of all we do. We embody our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, utilizing digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
