We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate daily to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more creative, recruit and maintain the best people, and know how to maximize the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and shows our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most meaningful contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and reflects the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients remain at the core of all we do. We embody our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, collaborating with others in the healthcare system to increase 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 choice we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
