We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a better place. This was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, draw and keep the best people, and know how to maximize the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—drives everything we do and demonstrates our passion for building on our legacy as one of the most meaningful contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and embodies the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients continue to be at the core of all we do. We embody our purpose by finding the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, employing 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 step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
