We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, attract and retain the best professionals, and know how to harness the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—powers everything we do and demonstrates 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 importance and reflects the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients remain at the centre of all we do. We live our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, partnering 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 spearheading the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every move we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
