We are in constant pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate every day to make the world a better place. It was Charles Pfizer's original vision, and it remains true today. Evidence confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more inventive, 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 growing 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 strive to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients remain 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, using digital technologies to advance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving 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 prosper.
