We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We drive innovation every day to make the world a healthier place. It was Charles Pfizer's founding vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, draw and keep the best people, and know how to harness the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—drives everything we do and reflects our passion for growing our legacy as one of the most meaningful contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has significance and represents the value we work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose guarantees that patients remain at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, partnering with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every decision we make, and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
