We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it holds true today. Evidence confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more innovative, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to harness the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—powers everything we do and reflects our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most important 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 heart of all we do. We live our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, using 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 decision we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
