We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it still holds true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best talent, and know how to unleash the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—drives everything we do and reflects our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most meaningful 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 remain at the centre of all we do. We embody our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, partnering 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 push 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 thrive.
