We're in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We drive innovation every day to make the world a better place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more innovative, draw and keep the best professionals, and know how to harness the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and demonstrates our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has significance and reflects the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients remain at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by finding the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, utilizing digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to advocate for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
