We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We create innovations every day to make the world a more healthy 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 professionals, and know how to maximize the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and shows our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most meaningful contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and reflects the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We live our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, using digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
