We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it still holds true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more innovative, attract and retain the best people, and know how to harness the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—powers everything we do and reflects our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has significance and reflects the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients continue to be at the centre of all we do. We live our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to enhance access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
