We're in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate daily to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Research 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 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 meaning and embodies the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients stay at the core of all we do. We embody our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to advocate for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every move we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
