We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We drive innovation every day to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it holds true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more innovative, draw and keep the best people, and know how to harness the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—powers everything we do and shows our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most meaningful contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and reflects the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients remain at the centre of all we do. We embody our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
