We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, draw and keep the best professionals, and know how to unleash the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—drives 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 significance and reflects the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients stay at the core of all we do. We live our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving 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 nurture an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
