We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We drive innovation every day to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it still holds true today. Studies show what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more creative, draw and keep the best talent, and know how to harness the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—drives everything we do and reflects our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has significance and reflects the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients stay at the heart of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, collaborating 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 driving the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
