We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We create innovations every day to make the world a healthier place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it still holds true today. Research confirms what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more innovative, recruit and maintain the best talent, and know how to unleash the power of those people. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—drives everything we do and demonstrates our passion for expanding our legacy as one of the most significant contributors of good to the world. Each word in our purpose has importance and embodies the value we aim to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients continue to be at the heart of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by finding the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines, employing digital technologies to enhance 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 step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to create an environment where breakthroughs can prosper.
