We're in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more creative, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to maximize the power of those team members. 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 meaningful contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and embodies the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients stay at the centre 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, using digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
