We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We drive innovation every day to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it remains true today. Evidence confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to unleash the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—powers 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 importance and embodies the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures 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 enhance access to our medicines, using digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
