We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations daily to make the world a healthier place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more innovative, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to maximize the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and reflects our passion for building on our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and reflects the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients continue to be at the heart of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by finding the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, using 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 move we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
