We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate every day to make the world a healthier place. It was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it still holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more inventive, draw and keep the best professionals, and know how to maximize the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—powers everything we do and reflects our passion for building on our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and represents the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients continue to be at the core of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by sourcing 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 campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
