We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial 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 maximize the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—drives everything we do and reflects our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and reflects the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients remain at the core of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by finding the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, utilizing 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 decision we make, and every move we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
