We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a healthier place. It was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more creative, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to unleash the power of those team members. 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 significant 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 guarantees that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, using digital technologies to advance 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.
