We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We create innovations daily to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it still holds true today. Evidence confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, draw and keep the best professionals, and know how to maximize the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change 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 reflects the value we strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients remain at the centre of all we do. We embody our purpose by finding the best science in the world, working 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 leading the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every move we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
