We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We drive innovation daily to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it still holds true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, draw and keep the best people, and know how to unleash the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—drives everything we do and shows 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 embodies the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients continue to be at the core of all we do. We live our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, using digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
