We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We drive innovation every day to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it still holds true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more inventive, attract and retain the best talent, and know how to harness the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—drives everything we do and shows our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most important 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 makes certain that patients stay at the heart of all we do. We embody our purpose by finding the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, using digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to advocate 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 thrive.
