We're in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We drive innovation every day to make the world a healthier place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it holds true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, draw and keep the best talent, and know how to unleash the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—powers everything we do and reflects our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and embodies the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients continue to be at the centre of all we do. We embody our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, using digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
