We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations every day to make the world a healthier place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it holds true today. Evidence confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to maximize the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and shows our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and embodies the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We live our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to advocate 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 flourish.
