We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We drive innovation each day to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it remains true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more inventive, recruit and maintain the best talent, and know how to harness the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—drives everything we do and demonstrates our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has significance and represents the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients stay at the centre of all we do. We embody our purpose by finding the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to increase 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 determination we make, and every move we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
