We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations daily to make the world a healthier place. This 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 innovative, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to maximize the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—drives everything we do and demonstrates our passion for building on our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has significance and embodies the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients continue to be at the heart of all we do. We live our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, utilizing 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 choice we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
