We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change 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. Evidence confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more creative, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to maximize the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and demonstrates our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most meaningful contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and represents the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients stay at the core of all we do. We live our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, employing 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 action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
