We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We create innovations every day to make the world a healthier place. This was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more inventive, draw and keep the best talent, and know how to maximize the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—drives everything we do and demonstrates 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 aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients remain at the heart of all we do. We live our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, using digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading 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 prosper.
