We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it still holds true today. Evidence confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best talent, and know how to maximize the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—powers 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 significance and reflects the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients remain 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 improve access to our medicines, using digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
