We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We drive innovation 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, attract and retain the best professionals, and know how to harness the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and demonstrates 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 represents the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients remain at the core of all we do. We live our purpose by finding the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to push 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.
