We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We drive innovation every day to make the world a better place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it still holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more innovative, draw and keep the best professionals, and know how to maximize the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—powers everything we do and shows our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and reflects the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients stay at the heart of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, using digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
