  • First agreed by PSCIโ€™s founding members in 2006
  • Updated in 2019 and 2022
  • All PSCI members commit to upholding the Principles, and they are widely referenced in supplier codes and public reporting

The Principles sit above individual supplier codes, setting highโ€‘level expectations and encouraging members and suppliers to consider and respond to these topics within their own practices. They are designed to:

  • Encourage continuous improvement across supply chains
  • Remain relevant across a threeโ€‘year review cycle
  • Be applicable across our diverse, global membership

With this in mind, our challenge is finding the right level of stretch: continuing to drive progress toward PSCIโ€™s vision of responsible supply chains, while ensuring the Principles remain achievable and universal.

We are now inviting external stakeholders to contribute to this update through our consultation survey
