We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations every day to make the world a healthier place. This 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, attract and retain the best people, and know how to harness the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—drives everything we do and reflects our passion for building on 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 aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients remain at the core of all we do. We embody our purpose by finding the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, utilizing digital technologies to improve 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 action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
