We are in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We create innovations each day to make the world a healthier place. It was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it remains true today. Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more innovative, recruit and maintain the best talent, and know how to maximize the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that improve patients' lives—powers everything we do and reflects 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 guarantees that patients stay at the core of all we do. We embody 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 improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and leading the conversation to campaign for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every determination we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to foster an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
