PSCI releases 2025 Annual Report showcasing a year of impact and value

PSCI releases 2025 Annual Report showcasing a year of impact and value

Following over a decade of collaboration, the PSCI celebrates continued growth in Membership, record audit sharing, and increased reach in Asia to strengthen responsible practices across the pharmaceutical and healthcare value chain.

Read the report here.

The Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Initiative (PSCI) has released its 2025 Annual Report, celebrating continued growth in Membership, record audit sharing, and increased reach in Asia. The PSCI held its first Member Meeting in Shanghai, China, and celebrated 10 years of the India Supplier Conference alongside the delivery of four technical workshops across the sub-continent. These efforts aim to ensure continued progress towards responsible supply chain practices in key sourcing regions for the industry.

The PSCI is powered by 81 Members who represent 70% of the pharma industry and more than $1.2tn revenue collectively. It exists to advance and embed responsible practices in the pharmaceutical, life science, and healthcare supply chains. The PSCI’s Members work together to uphold the PSCI Principles for Responsible Supply Chain Management and collaborate through the association’s strategic focus on Audits, Capability-building, and Projects.

Reflecting on the previous year, the 2025 PSCI Annual Report reached significant milestones in the journey to embed responsible practices in the pharmaceutical value chain.

  • 1st member meeting held in China
  • 297 audits uploaded in 2025, with 1,505 in total on the PSCI platform
  • 10 new Supplier Partners recognized for their commitment to responsible practices, bringing the total number to 22
  • 2,046 audit findings analyzed for insights into responsible supply chain issues and trends
  • 1,377 attendees to the first-ever Decarbonization Summit from 807 companies
  • 1,900+ attendees to 20 webinars, the largest audience to date
  • 300+ individual attendees at the 10th anniversary of the PSCI Supplier Conference in India

Rob Williams, 2025 PSCI Chair says,

2025 was another impactful year for the PSCI. We grew our presence key sourcing locations throughout Asia and delivered a first-ever Decarbonization Summit to bring the industry together to make practical decarbonization a reality. The audits on our platform continue to grow and our annual analysis of findings provides deep insight into responsible supply chain issues and regional trends in key sourcing locations around the world. Celebrating 10 years of the India Supplier Conference and reaching an even greater number of suppliers through regional technical workshop shows the breadth and depth of our work; and our first-ever Japanese webinar on PiE/AMR was a fantastic contribution towards expanding our support for the Japanese market. The PSCI Membership is truly building responsible supply chains.

Technical Workshop for India-based Suppliers: Process Safety Management - Hyderabad, India

Technical Workshop for India-based Suppliers: Process Safety Management - Hyderabad, India

Conference | 9–10 Apr 2026

In the modern chemical and pharmaceutical landscape, reactive chemical hazards represent one of the most significant risks to process safety and business continuity. Undetected thermal instabilities or improperly sized relief systems can lead to catastrophic runaway reactions, resulting in loss of life, environmental damage, and total asset loss. This intensive two-day workshop, led by industry experts from Kaypear in collaboration with the PSCI, provides a comprehensive roadmap for identifying, quantifying, and mitigating reactive risks.
