We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We create innovations daily to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more innovative, draw and keep the best talent, and know how to maximize the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and reflects 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 represents the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients remain at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, using 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 action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
