We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate every day to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it remains true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to maximize the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—drives everything we do and demonstrates our passion for building on our legacy as one of the most significant 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 continue to be at the centre of all we do. We embody our purpose by finding the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, utilizing digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
