We're in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it holds true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, attract and retain the best people, and know how to unleash the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—powers everything we do and reflects our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most important 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 ensures that patients continue to be at the centre of all we do. We embody our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, using digital technologies to advance 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 action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
