We are in tireless pursuit of breakthroughs that improve patients' lives. We innovate each day to make the world a more healthy place. This was Charles Pfizer's initial vision, and it still holds true today. Studies show what we instinctively know: that purpose-driven companies achieve more, are more creative, draw and keep the best professionals, and know how to maximize the power of those team members. Pfizer's purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—powers everything we do and shows our passion for expanding 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 work to bring to patients and society. Our purpose makes certain that patients stay at the heart of all we do. We fulfill our purpose by seeking the best science in the world, working with others in the healthcare system to increase access to our medicines, utilizing digital technologies to improve our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes, and driving the conversation to advocate for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies. Every choice we make, and every step we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can flourish.
