We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We create innovations every day to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more innovative, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to maximize the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—fuels everything we do and reflects our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has significance and represents the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients remain 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 improve access to our medicines, using 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 choice we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
