We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that transform patients' lives. We innovate daily to make the world a healthier place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more innovative, recruit and maintain the best professionals, and know how to harness the power of those individuals. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—drives 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 represents the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients remain at the centre of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, utilizing digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and spearheading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every move we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
