We're in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate every day to make the world a more healthy place. It was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it remains true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies deliver better results, are more innovative, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to unleash the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—fuels everything we do and demonstrates our passion for building on our legacy as one of the most important contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has meaning and embodies the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose ensures that patients stay at the heart of all we do. We embody our purpose by finding the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to push for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every move we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
